However, the risks lurking and threatening during their use, especially ionisation and complication connected with iodine contrast instruct us that they should be used only with strict indications, educated personal and fulfilled standars of protection.
    The aim of the article is to present the algorhytm, the value and importance of radiological methods of examination in diagnosis of the pathological states and discordes of urosystem.
