Ultrasonography, arteriography and CT in the diagnosis of renal carcinoma.
The material consists of 130 renal carcinomas diagnosed and histologically verified in 1978-1983, of which 124 were examined ultrasonographically (US), 122 arteriographically and 39 with computed tomography (CT). Of these renal carcinomas, 10 were detected as random findings in US. The US examination detected or gave suspicion of carcinoma in 94% of the cases, arteriography in 98% and CT in 95%. US was generally performed as a primary examination, and the US finding was often known at the time of arteriography and CT. Being noninvasive, US is a suitable primary examination in cases where renal carcinoma is suspected.
