Overview

Urologists manage kidney stones prostate disease urinary incontinence and urologic cancers using medical and surgical therapies.

Clinical Practice

Procedures include endoscopic stone removal prostate interventions reconstructive surgery and minimally invasive oncologic resections.

Diagnostics and Tools

Urology uses cystoscopy ultrasound CT and urodynamic testing for diagnosis and procedural planning.

Training and Roles

Urologists complete surgical residency and may subspecialize in oncology pediatric urology or female pelvic medicine.

Overview

Kidney imaging uses ultrasound CT and MRI to evaluate masses stones and infection. Functional imaging assesses perfusion and filtration in select cases. Imaging guides urologic and nephrologic management.

Stone Disease

CT is the preferred modality for stone detection and characterization. Low dose protocols reduce radiation while maintaining sensitivity. Imaging guides intervention and follow up.

Renal Masses

CT and MRI characterize renal masses and assess staging. Contrast enhancement patterns help differentiate benign from malignant lesions. Biopsy may be guided by imaging in select cases.

Functional Assessment

Nuclear medicine and MRI techniques assess renal function and split function. Imaging supports planning for surgery and monitoring of chronic disease. Integration with clinical data informs management.

Endourology and Stone Management

Minimally invasive techniques such as ureteroscopy and lithotripsy manage urinary stones with imaging guidance.

Oncologic Urology

Prostate bladder and kidney cancer care integrates imaging staging surgery and systemic therapy coordination.

Reconstructive and Functional Urology

Procedures address incontinence obstruction and congenital anomalies with multidisciplinary follow up.
