  • Title: [Differential diagnosis of space-occupying lesions of kidneys (comparison between IVP, angiography and ultra-sound) (author's transl)].
    Author: Fürst K, Czembirek H, Mayrhofer HP, Pokieser H, Ponhold W.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1977 Apr; 30(4):166-75. PubMed ID: 857288.
    Abstract:
    On 77 IVP's it can be shown that correct assessment of the identity of space-occupying lesions of the kidneys is difficult (correct diagnosis in 39% of cystic and 10% of solid conditions). Improvement can be expected from early tomography of IVP's by improved pictures of the parenchyma, mainly with ultra-sound which separates cystic from solid conditions. Correlation of these techniques appears sufficient for cystic processes. Angiography is indicated for solid tumors and doubtful ultra-sound findings.
