Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and advances in CT urography techniques have enabled vast improvements in the depiction of the ureter. Studies of the ureter can find a wide variety of conditions including congenital defects and anatomic variants (anomalies in the origin, distribution, and distal insertion of the ureter) as well as all benign and malignant causes of focal and diffuse wall thickening (inflammatory and infectious processes, and neoplasms, as well as iatrogenic thickening and postsurgical changes). Other benign processes like ureteral kinking and stenosis due to extrinsic compression of the iliac vessels are also well characterized by MDCT. The aim of this article is to show the spectrum of ureteral variants and disease apart from common entities related to stones.
多排螺旋计算机断层扫描（MDCT）以及CT尿路造影技术的进步，使输尿管的显示有了巨大改善。对输尿管的研究可以发现各种各样的情况，包括先天性缺陷和解剖变异（输尿管起源、分布及远端插入的异常），以及导致局灶性和弥漫性管壁增厚的所有良性和恶性病因（炎症和感染性病变、肿瘤，以及医源性增厚和术后改变）。其他良性病变，如由于髂血管外部压迫导致的输尿管扭结和狭窄，MDCT也能很好地进行特征性显示。本文的目的是展示除了与结石相关的常见情况外，输尿管变异和疾病的范围。
