  • Title: Micturating cystourethrography and vesicoureteral reflux.
    Author: Thomsen HS, Rygaard H, Strandberg C.
    Journal: Eur J Radiol; 1985 Nov; 5(4):318-20. PubMed ID: 4085496.
    Abstract:
    A questionnaire on micturating cystourethrography (MCU) was submitted to all 74 Danish radiology departments. It was answered by 85% of the departments and of these 73% performed about 1500 examinations in patients suspected of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) during 1982. The technique of MCU varied considerably. Several factors of importance for the outcome of the examination were not regarded. Although the optimal technique has not yet been settled, some standardization is warranted for better detection of VUR and for comparison of results. Even when the most rational technique is followed there still will remain cases where a repeat study will turn out differently.
