CHARACTERISTICS OF MALE URETHRA ANATOMY ON X-RAY IMAGES
Abstract
The article presents the normal anatomy of the male urethra on X-ray images, which is helpful for urologists and radiologists in the correct evaluation of male urethra pathologies during retrograde urethrography and voiding cystourethrography. The article also contains the methodology of these studies, which remain the ‘gold standard’ in the diagnosis of urethral strictures and other pathologies of the urethra. The knowledge of urethral anatomy and visualization of her sections during X-ray studies is relevant for correct diagnosis and choice of treatment options.
