This educational exhibit is intended to convey the importance of imaging in the treatment of non-traumatic genitourinary emergencies. A gamut of cases illustrates multiple pathologic entities which, if not promptly diagnosed and treated, can be life threatening. Case examples, predominantly focused on the kidneys, urinary collecting system, prostate and scrotum, consist of multiple modalities including CT, ultrasound, radiography and MRI.

1. Brief overview of genitourinary emergencies and the importance of recognizing non-traumatic entities 2. Renal cases a. Acute/emphysematous pyelonephritis b. Ruptured angiomyolipoma c. Spontaneous bleeding from renal cell carcinoma d. Acute renal cortical necrosis e. Renal vein thrombosis 3. Collecting system cases a. Ureteroarterial fistula b. Emphysematous cystitis c. Antopol-Goldman lesion 4. Prostate and scrotum cases a. Prostatic abscess b. Acute seminal vesiculitis with associated funiculitis c. Epididymo-orchitis d. Testicular torsion e. Fournier Gangrene f. Priapism 5. Summary and conclusion
