To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance urography (MRU) and determine its value for detecting ureteric obstruction. ⋯ These findings suggested a relatively high diagnostic value of MRU for detecting ureteric obstruction. Moreover, the diagnostic accuracy of MRU in adults was higher than in children. KEY MESSAGE Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in detecting ureteric obstruction has relatively better sensitivity, specificity, PLR, NLR, DOR and AUC. The diagnostic value, including specificity, PLR and AUC of MRU in adults, was higher than in children, while the sensitivity of MRU in adults was lower than in children.
