Comparison of computerized tomography and excretory urography in detection and evaluation of renal masses.
The ability of excretory urography and computerized tomography to detect renal masses was compared in 120 consecutive cases. Computerized tomography consistently provided more information than excretory urography, usually was able to distinguish renal tumors from cysts and provided additional useful information regarding staging of renal neoplasms and the presence of unsuspected associated pathological conditions.
