Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is gaining acceptance as a diagnostic tool in urethral stricture disease. Numerous publications emphasize on the advantages of MRI including its ability to determine periurethral spongiofibrosis, thus overcoming the main limitation of retrograde urethrography (RUG). It is also becoming an alternative for sonourethrography (SUG), which is a highly subjective examination. Magnetic resonance urethrography (MRU) has become an increasingly appreciated tool for diagnosing patients with urethral stricture disease. Obtained data provides radiologists and urethral reconstructive surgeons with additional information regarding anatomical relationships and periurethral tissue details, facilitating further treatment planning. Considering the great prevalence of urethral stricture disease and necessity of using accurate, and acceptable diagnostic method, this review was designed to provide radiologists and clinicians with a systematic review of the literature on the use of MRI in the urethral stricture disease.
磁共振成像（MRI）在尿道狭窄疾病的诊断中越来越被接受。许多出版物强调了 MRI 的优势，包括其确定尿道周围海绵纤维性变的能力，从而克服了逆行尿道造影（RUG）的主要限制。它也正在成为超声尿道造影（SUG）的替代方法，SUG 是一种高度主观的检查。磁共振尿道造影（MRU）已成为诊断尿道狭窄疾病患者的一种越来越受重视的工具。获得的数据为放射科医生和尿道重建外科医生提供了有关解剖关系和尿道周围组织细节的额外信息，有助于进一步的治疗计划。鉴于尿道狭窄疾病的高患病率和使用准确且可接受的诊断方法的必要性，本综述旨在为放射科医生和临床医生提供关于 MRI 在尿道狭窄疾病中的应用的文献系统评价。
