Abstract

Comparison of the results of preoperative spiral computed tomography (SCT) in 107 patients with renal tumors and postoperative biopsy data revealed differences in the sensitivity and specificity of SCT phases in the diagnosis of cancer and other space-occupying lesions of the kidney. Based on the results of the study, the authors propose an optimal SCT diagnostic protocol, by using certain SCT phases and their combination in patients with renal space-occupying lesions in relation to the objective of a forthcoming study. SCT protocol optimization is an important moment that allows reductions in a radiation burden on the patient on the one hand, and in the cost of the urological use of this high-tech
radiodiagnostic technique on the other.
