Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) of acutely obstructed kidneys secondary to stone disease demonstrated that approximately two thirds of these patients showed a mottled nephrogram in contrast to 6% at urography, where the nephrogram was seen as the previously reported striated nephrogram. Mottled nephrograms are better and more frequently shown at CT than at urographic imaging.
