 | Media file 1: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Plain radiograph of the abdomen in a woman with renal tuberculosis shows calcification of varying patterns (curvilinear, amorphous, speckled). |
 | Media file 2: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Excretory urography in a patient with renal tuberculosis shows an irregular cavity at the upper pole calyx of the right kidney. Note the multiple tiny calcifications in the liver, spleen, and right adrenal gland due to calcified tuberculous granuloma. |
 | Media file 3: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Excretory urography in a patient with renal tuberculosis shows multiple curvilinear calcifications in the left kidney. Note the calyceal dilatation in the upper pole of the left kidney due to infundibular stricture. |
 | Media file 4: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Excretory urography in a man with renal tuberculosis shows irregular cavitation of the left upper pole calyx. Note the multiple tiny calcifications in the spleen. |
 | Media file 5: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Intravenous urography series in a man with renal tuberculosis shows marked irregularity of the bladder lumen due to mucosal edema and ulceration (same patient as Image 4 in Multimedia). |
 | Media file 6: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Excretory urography in a woman with a history of tuberculosis of the breast. The film shows irregular cavitation in the lower pole calyx of the left kidney due to renal tuberculosis. |
 | Media file 7: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Excretory urography in a patient with advanced renal tuberculosis shows lobar calcification with no excretion of contrast on intravenous urogram. |
 | Media file 8: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Lobar calcification in a large destroyed right kidney in a patient with renal tuberculosis. Note the involvement of the right ureter. |
 | Media file 9: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Excretory urography in a patient with tuberculosis of the ureter and bladder. The lower end of the right ureter demonstrates an irregular caliber with an irregular stricture at the right vesico-ureteric junction. Note the asymmetric contraction of the urinary bladder, with marked irregularity due to edema and ulceration. |
 | Media file 10: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Plain radiograph of the abdomen in a patient with calcified seminal vesicles due to tuberculosis. Note the amorphous and speckled calcification in the right kidney. |
 | Media file 11: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Lateral view of the abdomen in a patient with schistosomiasis shows tubular calcification of the ureters in contrast to the speckled calcification in tuberculosis. |
 | Media file 12: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Radiograph of the pelvis in a patient with schistosomiasis shows fine linear calcifications of the bladder wall with normal volume. In tuberculosis, the bladder is contracted and demonstrates speckled calcification. |
 | Media file 13: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Hysterosalpingogram in a patient with tuberculosis of the uterus. The contour of the uterus is irregular, with nodular filling defects. |
 | Media file 14: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Hysterosalpingogram in a patient with tuberculosis of the fallopian tubes shows right-sided hydrosalpinx with an occluded left fallopian tube. |
 | Media file 15: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Ultrasonographic image of the pelvis shows left tubo-ovarian abscess resulting from tuberculosis. |
 | Media file 16: Genitourinary tract tuberculosis. Ultrasonographic image of the scrotum in a young male patient shows left epididymo-orchitis resulting from tuberculosis. |
