This study was carried out on 52 patients which were selected form the general surgical and urology out door of Mayo Hospital Lahore. The study was carried out in the department Radiology King Edward Medical College/ Mayo Hospital Lahore. Ultrasound machine used in this study had both 3.5 and 7.5 MHz probes. To out line the urethra, lignocaine gel was used. For conventional x-ray urethrography 300mA, x-ray machine with water soluble contrast medium used. Results showed that the ultrasound diagnosed 91.3% anterior urethral strictures and x-ray urethrography diagnosed 88.5% strictures of anterior urethra. Posterior urethral strictures were inconclusive in Sonourethrography and were outlined in the conventional urethrography. This study proved that the anterior urethral strictures are better picked up on Sonourethrography; this method is cheap and can easily be carried out in outdoors.Downloads
