Objective: The objective of our study was to retrospectively determine the accuracy of CT for differentiating intrarenal transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) from centrally located renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and to define the most discriminating diagnostic CT features.
Materials And Methods: CT studies of 98 pathologically proven central renal tumors (64 centrally located RCCs and 34 intrarenal TCCs) seen over 5 years at three university hospitals were reviewed by five specialty-trained radiologists who were blinded to the final diagnosis. Multiple CT features and global impression were graded on a 4-point score.
Objective: To assess the feasibility of virtual cystoscopy reconstructed from helical computed tomography (CT) obtained using an intravenous contrast agent, and to correlate the findings with flexible (FC) and rigid cystoscopy (RC) in patients with bladder tumours.
Patients And Methods: Eighteen patients (16 men and two women, mean age 72 years, range 59-80) with haematuria and found to have a bladder tumour on FC were included in a pilot study. Contrast-enhanced helical CT scans were taken and based on these datasets, virtual cystoscopy (VC) images were reconstructed by a radiologist unaware of the findings at cystoscopy.
