Abstract
SUMMARY: The technique of urethrography using high‐viscosity contrast medium is described and the radiological anatomy and pathological changes seen following disease of the anterior urethra are reviewed. The findings resulting from the use of urethrography in a series of patients attending a bougie clinic are presented. The value of the information provided by urethrography in the assessment and management of such patients is discussed. It is suggested that the examination provides a useful objective record of the extent of the disease. Urethrography as a routine investigation prior to prostatectomy is suggested.
