Cine magnetic resonance urography for postoperative evaluation of reconstructive urinary tract after ileal ureter substitution: Initial experience
Clinical Radiology Feb 29, 2020
Zhu WJ, Ma MM, Zheng MM, et al. - This study sought to present the initial experiences with functional cine magnetic resonance urography (cine MRU) and evaluate its utility as a novel postoperative evaluation method of ileal ureter substitution. A total of 17 individuals were included who underwent cine MRU between June 2010 and December 2019 during their follow-up after ileal ureter substitution. Researchers observed the cine MRU videos of the reconstructive urinary tract and estimated luminal diameter, contraction ratio, peristaltic waves, and ureteral jets. After ileal ureter substitution, this study is the first to evaluate the clinical benefit of functional cine MRU during the patient follow-up. It was indicated that cine MRU is a radiation-free, non-invasive imaging method that can clearly reveal the morphology and the peristaltic motility of the ileal graft. Hence, cine MRU, as a new method, will be extremely beneficial in the postoperative evaluation of individuals after ileal ureter substitution.
