Methods A retrospective analysis of 103 cases of treatment for upper urinary tract obstruction in patients with MSCT and CT urography (CTU) post-processing the image data. Results 93 cases of patients with upper urinary tract obstruction, stone impaction caused by upper urinary tract obstruction in 32 cases, urinary tract congenital malformations caused by upper urinary tract obstruction hydrocephalus in 12 cases, renal pelvis cyst or tumor caused by upper urinary tract urinary tract obstruction by 28 cases, inflammatory diseases, tuberculosis caused by renal pelvis, ureter stenosis in 14 cases, non-urinary tract tumors embedded or pressure on the urinary obstruction caused by accumulation of water in 7 cases. Conclusion multi-slice spiral CT with fast scanning, image resolution, image quality and powerful post-processing functions, MSCTU position on the upper urinary tract obstruction, the qualitative diagnosis of tremendous value.

Results Among the 93 patients with diverse disorders, 32 suffered from the obstruction due to urolithiasis, 12 due to congenital urinary malformation, 28 due to urinary neoplasm or pelvical cyst, 14 due to traitness of renal pelvis or ureter caused by inflammation or tuberculosis, and 7 due to non-urinary derived tumor. Conclusion MSCT has the merits of high sp
