Computed tomography staging of renal carcinoma
- 1. Loyola Univ., Maywood, IL (USA). Medical Center
Description
The ability of fast third-and fourth-generation scanning devices to supply images of sufficient quality to delinate the kidney, its vascular supply, and surrounding fascial envelope has provided a modality which permits preoperative staging of tumors of the kidney with an accuracy of about 90% in limited series of 20 specimen cases. The unreliability of bolus injection to evaluate tumor extension to the renal vein accounted for two errors. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Die dritte und vierte Generation von Scannern, die rasch und mit ausreichender Genauigkeit Bilder der Niere, ihrer Gefaesse und ihrer Muskelhaut liefern, ermoeglichte in 20 Probefaellen eine Bestimmung des Tumorstadiums mit 90%iger Genauigkeit. Die Unzuverlaessigkeit der Bolusinjektion zur Beurteilung der Tumorausdehnung zur Nierenvene fuehrte in zwei Faellen zu einem Fehler. (orig.)Additional details
