AB  - Five  years  is  a  long  time  in  radiology,  and  the  pace  of  change  in  imaging  has  even  quickened  since  the  prior  edition  of  this  text.  The  increasing  availability  and  technical  capability  of  cross-sectional  modalities  such  computed  tomography  (CT),  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI),  and  ultrasound  (US)  now  dominate  imaging  of  the  urinary  system  with  multidetector  (spiral)  CT  having  the  greatest  impact.  In  our  department,  CT  is  called  the  “temple  of  truth”  for  good  reason.  These  cross-sectional  modalities  have  essentially  eliminated  the  intravenous  pyelogram  (IVP),  which  after  70  years  of  being  the  backbone  of  urinary  tract  imaging,  has  had  its  epitaph  written,  and  has  little  if  any  role  in  modern-day  urinary  imaging.  The  result  of  these  progressive  advances  in  imaging  continues  to  be  improved,  earlier,  and  more  accurate  diagnosis  of  genitourinary  tract  disease.
