Case Discussion
The male urethra has anterior and posterior components, with further anatomical sub divisions.
The anterior urethra is typically imaged by an ascending urethrogram and the posterior urethra, by a descending urethrogram.
Studying the urethra is usually to assess for a stricture or tear.
