Figure 1 Flow chart showing how patient population was derived to study physician adherence to 2001 American Urological Association guidelines on the evaluation of asymptomatic hematuria. ICD9-CM = International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification.

Figure 2 Flow chart showing imaging utilization in patients during initial evaluation of hematuria.∗ ∗Within 6 months of initial presentation at our institution. ∗∗Two patients had 2 computed tomography (CT) scans each during their initial evaluation; one had CT urography and contrast-enhanced abdominal CT, one had CT urography and unenhanced abdominal CT. #Two of 4 patients who underwent radiographic studies also had contrast-enhanced abdominal CT. MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; US = ultrasonography. The American Journal of Medicine 2014 127, 625-632DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2014.02.013) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
