MR urethrography versus X-ray urethrography compared with operative findings for the evaluation of urethral strictures

We compared the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) urethrography and X-ray urethrography with operative findings for urethral strictures and observed their effects on treatment. A total of 87 male patients (10–85 years of age) treated from January 2015 to December 2016 were included in the study. X-ray and MR urethrograms were performed for all patients to determine the location, length, and degree of urethral strictures and the organizational structure around the urethra, and the results were compared with the operative findings. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to compare the lengths of the urethral strictures determined by the two methods with the operative findings. A value of P
