Imaging diagnosis--left retrocaval ureter and transposition of the caudal vena cava in a dog

Vet Radiol Ultrasound. 2010 Jan-Feb;51(1):52-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1740-8261.2009.01621.x.

Abstract

Retrocaval ureter and transposition of the caudal vena cava are each, rare developmental anomalies. We describe the usefulness of static fluid magnetic resonance urography and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance urography in the diagnosis of these anomalies. Basic techniques, benefits, and drawbacks of magnetic resonance urography are presented.
