Imaging protocols for CT urography: results of a consensus conference from the French Society of Genitourinary Imaging

ConclusionThis expert-based consensus conference provides recommendations to standardise the imaging protocol for computed tomography urography.Key Points•To improve excretory phase imaging, an intravenous injection of furosemide should be performed before the injection of iodinated contrast medium.•Systematic oral or intravenous hydration is not necessary to improve excretory phase imaging.•The choice between single-bolus and split-bolus protocols depends on the context, but split-bolus protocols should be favoured whenever possible to decrease patient irradiation.
