Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine the clinical value of MDCT and MRI examinations in patients with urogenital anomalies. We analyzed the MDCT and MRI examinations of the abdomen and pelvis in 29 patients (25 women, age 11-32 years) with urogenital anomalies, excluding patients with isolated anomalies of the urinary tract. Anomalies were: gonadal dysgenesis, gonadal descent disorders, uterovaginal anomalies, anomalies of the mesonephros, anal atresia, and testicular feminization. With MDCT examination, only anomalies of the urinary tract could be reliably proved, while genital tract anomalies could only be suspected. With MRI it was possible to analyze details of developmental disorders, shape, number, position, and anatomic relations of the affected organs, particularly in the region of pelvis. Data from subsequently performed surgical procedure, available for 14 patients, were identical to MRI findings in 11. MRI was not reliable in determining the exact level of disorder of the vertical fusion in obstructive uterovaginal anomalies and in identifying lateral fusion disorder of the vagina. When compared to MDCT, MRI proved significantly more reliable in the detection and characterization of urogenital anomalies, and detailed analysis of changes in the anatomy, which is of particular importance for planning of surgical treatment.
