Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary endpoint is the correlation stricture length and the degree of<br /><br>spongiofibrosis based on MRU compared to X-RUG and intra-operative findings.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>- The amount of patients in which the initial treatment plan, based on<br /><br>retrograde urethrography only, changes after MRU.<br /><br>- Difference in degree of invasiveness between X-RUG and MRU.</p><br>
