This is a concise pocket guide to urological investigative procedures. It reviews the indications and pitfalls of tests before they are requested and suggests which investigations should be performed in individual urological conditions. Cross-sectional and other radiological images help illustrate the main diagnostic features, and diagrams and graphs illustrate the main points of the test. Examples of commonly-seen conditions are provided to help to better explain the test and the diagnosis. Bulleted items at the end of chapters are highlighted in a 'box' - useful during a busy ward round, out-patient clinic, or for last-minute consultation prior a viva examination. This comprehensive yet easy-to-read handbook is aimed at urological trainees, urology nurse specialists, recently qualified junior urologists as well as practicing urologists as part of review and audit of practices.
