Abstract:
Forty-four cases of abdominal and pelvic computerized tomography (CT) for urological evaluation were reviewed and analyzed as follows: Computerized tomography is a very convenient and non-invasive method to evaluate stages of renal tumor and is more superior in diagnosing hypoplastic kidney and hamartoma than ordinary renal angiography and ultrasonography. Computerized tomography is more informative in evaluation of retroperitoneal space than conventional radiography. It is almost impossible or very difficult to differentiate stage of the bladder tumor A, B1 and B2. Stages beyond C and mass in the pelvic cavity can be detected with relative accuracy. Lymph node metastasis into the retroperitoneal space in testis tumor is diagnosed by computerized tomography.
