  • Title: [Tumors of the renal pelvis--diagnostic possibilities using CT].
    Author: Kriedemann E, Rotte KH, Marciniak H, Wehry B.
    Journal: Z Urol Nephrol; 1984 May; 77(5):257-67. PubMed ID: 6475327.
    Abstract:
    The urographic results obtained in 14 patients with tumors of the renal pelvis are compared with those of computer tomography (CT), and the diagnostic possibilities emerging from CT are described. CT is superior to urography and angiography not only in the discovery of renal pelvic tumors but also in their further differentiation. In addition, CT gives information in case if bilateral processes and lymph node metastases. Nonetheless, intravenous pyelography continues to hold the first place in the diagnosis of pathological processes of the renal pelvis. This holds both for tumor detection and suspicion and for indirect signs, namely the "mute" kidney or hydronephrosis. Angiography is less information with renal pelvic tumors, and with ultrasonic diagnostics there is no sufficient experience up to now.
