  • Title: Renal masses in children. An integrated imaging approach to diagnosis.
    Author: Wolfson BJ, Gainey MA, Faerber EN, Capitanio MA.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1985 Nov; 12(4):755-69. PubMed ID: 2997969.
    Abstract:
    In view of the continuing technologic advancements in the development and availability of diagnostic imaging modalities, it is appropriate to assess periodically the currently accepted approaches to the evaluation of renal masses in children. The roles, advantages, and disadvantages of plain film, intravenous urography, ultrasonography, radionuclide scintigraphy, computed tomography, angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging in the approach to the evaluation of renal masses in children are discussed. An integrated imaging approach that provides the most accurate and necessary information for diagnosis and treatment is recommended.
