A method of assessing efficacy of renal arteriography with reference to the space-occupying lesion of the kidney.
A 5 categories classification method has been used for assessing the test efficacy of renal arteriography with reference to suspicion of a space-occupying lesion of the kidney in a urogram. 20 selected intravenous urographies were judged by 7 investigators. Using a diagnostic score the efficacy per patient, per investigator was assessed. The mean of all investigators per patient (= the mean diagnostic score per patient) and the mean of all patients per investigator (= the mean diagnostic score per investigator) were also assessed. The first gives an indication of the difficulty of the case; the second gives an indication of the performance of the investigator.
