Abstract:
Objective: With use of HELICAL CT to compare the enhancement of renal neoplasm and renal cortex and to evaluate the enhancement of renal veins and inferior vena cava during corticomedullary and nephrographic phase.
Conclusion
• Renal neoplasm showed greater enhancement in the nephrogenic phase compared with that in corticomedullary phase.
• Renal cortex also showed greater enhancement in the nephrogenic phase compared with that in corticomedullary phase
• Renal veins are best visualized in corticomedullary phase and inferior vena cava is better visualized in nephrogenic phase.
