BACKGROUND The development of a new urological intervention table now enables the application of an Artis zee ceiling Dyna-CT (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) for interventional cross-sectional imaging and 3-D reconstruction of the urinary tract in the prone and supine positions (urological Dyna-CT). METHODS We tested the feasibility of the urological Dyna-CT with the newly developed urological intervention table. The system was moved five times to enable 3-D reconstruction of the urinary tract of a test person in the prone and in supine positions. RESULTS Handling of the free floating table is easily possible during the intervention. We found no limitation of imaging system movement in any position of the test person. CONCLUSIONS Apart from standard urological imaging such as fluoroscopy, intravenous pyelography or plain abdominal X-ray the urological Dyna-CT enables further imaging of the urinary tract. Fluoroscopy sequences can be stored as videos, and 3-D reconstructions of the urinary tract are possible with permanent patient access for any intervention. Extensive tests led to the technical approval of the system in urology.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D019412 Anatomy, Cross-Sectional Descriptive anatomy based on three-dimensional imaging (IMAGING, THREE-DIMENSIONAL) of the body, organs, and structures using a series of computer multiplane sections, displayed by transverse, coronal, and sagittal analyses. It is essential to accurate interpretation by the radiologist of such techniques as ultrasonic diagnosis, MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING, and computed tomography (TOMOGRAPHY, X-RAY COMPUTED).

D021621 Imaging, Three-Dimensional The process of generating three-dimensional images by electronic, photographic, or other methods. For example, three-dimensional images can be generated by assembling multiple tomographic images with the aid of a computer, while photographic 3-D images (HOLOGRAPHY) can be made by exposing film to the interference pattern created when two laser light sources shine on an object.
