AB Advances  in  technology  have  made  possible  the  use  of  radiologic  techniques  to  assist  in  diagnosis  of  a  variety  of  disorders  discussed  throughout  this  text.  Most  significant  in  this  regard  have  been  the  refinement  of  computer-assisted  tomography  (CT),  the  more  widespread  availability,  power,  and  use  of  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI),  and  the  introduction  of  tracer  materials  to  further  enhance  their  diagnostic  utility.  Additionally,  ultrasonography  (US)  has  been  applied  to  the  initial  diagnostic  approach  in  disorders  such  as  gonadal  tumors,  where  radiation  exposure  is  distinctly  undesirable.  What  follows  in  this  chapter  is  an  overview  of  the  radiologic  approach  to  diagnosis,  with  a  summary  of  findings  relevant  to  the  disorders  discussed.
