Multislice spiral computed tomography in evaluating renal focal lesions--new diagnostic possibilities

Ann Univ Mariae Curie Sklodowska Med. 2003;58(1):372-8.

Abstract

Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) is a modern imaging method providing wider diagnostic possibilities. Its advantages include nearly isotropic imaging with high-quality, artefact-free two- and three-dimensional reconstructions, and scanning speed which allows routine multiphasic examinations of large body areas. The authors present their experience of multiphasic renal examinations using 8-row MSCT.
