Introduction: Haematuria is a sign that can arise from a constellation of disorders, ranging from urinary tract infection to invasive malignancy. Study aimed to evaluate the value of CT urography in hematuria. Material and methods: In present study, 58 patients presented with hematuria (both microscopic and macroscopic) were evaluated with CT urography. Results: In present study, most common age group presented with hematuria were between 31-45 years and constitute about 41% of total number of cases. In this study there was male (40) preponderance than females(18). Most common cause of hematuria in present study was urolithiasis contributing to 40% of total cases, most common location of urolithiasis being ureteric. Most common age group for urolithiasis was below 50years. 2 nd most common cause for hematuria in the present study includes urinary tract neoplasms, out of these bladder carcinoma (50% of total neoplasms) was the main cause for hematuria in present study group. Conclusion: CT Urography showed high diagnostic values with a combination of unenhanced, nephrographic phase and excretory phases.
Introduction-Low back pain (LBP) is the one of the most prevalent complaints among the people. India has an increasing number of patients who present with LBP. The presentation, detection and characterization of lesions in LBP are sometimes clinically indistinguishable, necessitating evaluation by MRI. Aim-The purpose of this study was to undertake a critical review of the potential role of magnetic resonance imaging in evaluation of low back pain (LBP) and to describe various MRI findings. Methodology-The study was conducted at the Radiology and Imaging department of the Mamata medical college, khammam, india. It was a cross-sectional study whose subjects were adult patients with LBP referred for lumbar spine MRI. A total of 151 patients with LBP, with no contraindications to MRI underwent MRI from july 2015 to december 2015 were studied. Frequency tables were generated for categorical variables. Results-The most common site for degenerative findings was L4/L5 followed by L5/S1. Nerve root compression was the most common complication. Conclusion: This study established the use of MRI as the radiological investigation for detection of low back pain. It was concluded that LDD is common in the lower lumbar regions.
