Abstract
The lower urinary tract comprises the bladder and the urethra. Although the two parts form a unity, they display differences from a clinical point of view as far as tumors or urinary disorders are concerned. Therefore, they have to be considered separately. In male patients, the following possible causes for pain, hematuria, disturbed or painful urinary flow, or incontinence have to be considered: stone; inflammation; displacement; trauma; tumor (bladder); prostatic disease. The diagnostic imaging modalities available are: X-ray; intravenous pyelogram (IVP); cys tourethrogram (CUG); direct and indirect lymphography; transabdominal and transrectal sonography; CT; and magnetic resonance (MR).
