Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Efficacy will be assessed by accuracy of the two diagnostic modalities in evaluation of length, site, number, luminal calibre, degree of spongiofibrosis of the stricture. Additionally, the findings will be evaluated regarding the urethra proximal to the stricture, corpora spongiosa surrounding the stricture.Timepoint: At completion of CT. <br/ ><br>At Completion of Voiding Urethrography. <br/ ><br>At completion of cystourethroscopy.
