    abstract = {CTU an imaging model is used to investigate hematuria and can provide good details of non-urological findings. To assess the frequency of non-urological pathologies on CT Urography (CTU) and to categorize the findings in order of importance and to determine the percentage of clinically significant findings that would require immediate management. A total of 340 consecutive CT urograms were respectively reviewed between from August 2011-2012. The CTU were performed using a 2 phase split does (50+50 mL) protocol using a 16 or 64 slices CT (Philips, Netherlands). All reported non-urological findings were recorded and classified according to reporting standard for the extra colonic findings in CT colonography. E0 = Inadequate examination, E1 = Normal findings/variant, E2 = Abnormal finding requiring no change in the management, E3 = Abnormal findings with potential change in management and E4 = Significant abnormal findings that urgent action required. The mean age of participants was 66.65 years. About 71% of participants were males. A total of 136 (40%) of all cases of CT urograms were non-urological pathology, most of cases were in E2 (90) and E3 (82). CTU detected 40% of cases with non-urological pathologies. CTU offers added advantage-in detecting non-urological pathology, however, radiologists need a pragmatic approach when reporting these findings.}
