“…The retrograde positive cystogram technique was performed 8 weeks postoperatively as described by ( Marolf & Park, 2013 ). A 20% solution of an organic iodide compound (Urografin 76%, Bayer (Pty) Ltd, South Africa) was slowly injected as a positive contrast agent until full capacity was reached.…”

“…Urocystoliths were defined as round to slightly irregular mineral radiopaque concretions greater than 1.2 mm typically residing in the dependent portion of the urinary bladder on orthogonal views (Osborne et al . 1996a, Marolf & Park 2013). An intraluminal bladder mass was diagnosed by bladder distension with deviation of the urinary catheter from its central location.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate causes for feline urethral obstruction and determine whether the frequency of radiographic diagnoses differs between cats radiographed before or after unobstruction of the urethra. Materials and Methods A retrospective cross‐sectional study of cats with naturally occurring urethral obstruction was performed. Only cats presenting for their first urethral obstruction in which radiography was integrated in the initial evaluation were included. The diagnosis frequency (overall and for each disease type) was compared between cats radiographed before or after unobstruction of the urethra. Results Eighty cats (52%) had radiographs obtained before unobstructing the urethra and 73 cats (48%) had radiographs taken after unobstructing the urethra. Cats radiographed before unobstruction had a greater frequency of radiographic diagnoses than those radiographed after unobstruction (61% versus 45%). This difference was largely due to a greater frequency of urethral plugs detected before unobstruction versus after unobstruction (45% versus 5.5%). Clinical Significance Radiographs obtained before unobstructing the urethra provided a diagnostic advantage for detecting a cause for urethral obstruction compared to radiographs obtained after unobstructing the urethra. Urethral plugs were the most common diagnosis.

“…Additional causes include strictures, dried solidified blood calculi, blood clots, fibrinosuppurative exudates, neoplasia, and iatrogenic causes 1‐7 . Most upper urinary tract calculi are composed of calcium oxalate which is radiopaque 1,8‐10 . Currently, standard radiographs (XR) and abdominal ultrasound (US) are the primary imaging modalities used to diagnose ureterolithiasis in cats 1,2,4,7,11 .…”

Background Radiographs and ultrasound (US) are the primary imaging modalities used to assess ureteral calculi in cats. Reports describing the use of nonenhanced computed tomography (CT) are scarce. Hypothesis/Objectives To compare US and nonenhanced CT for detection, number and localization of ureteral calculi in cats. Animals Fifty‐one cats with at least 1 ureteral calculus, and 101 ureters. Methods Prospective case series. All cats underwent an US followed by a nonenhanced CT. Cats were included in the study if at least 1 ureteral calculus was diagnosed on either modality. Number of calculi and their localization (proximal, middle, and distal) were recorded on both modalities. Pelvic dilatation and maximal ureteral diameter were recorded with US. Results More calculi were detected by nonenhanced CT (126) compared to US (90), regardless of localization (P < .001). More ureters were affected on nonenhanced CT (70) compared to US (57; P < .001). The number of calculi detected was significantly different between US and nonenhanced CT in the proximal (P = .02) and distal ureteral region (P < .001). Bilateral calculi were more frequent with nonenhanced CT (19 cats) compared to US (9 cats; P < .001). A pelvic size superior to 5 mm and a maximal ureteral diameter value superior to 3 mm were always associated with ureteral calculi. Conclusions and Clinical Importance Computed tomography is an emerging imaging modality in cats with a suspected ureteral obstruction. Combination of CT and US can be beneficial for case management.
