CT protocols should be tailored to different clinical indications, balancing diagnostic accuracy and radiation exposure. Protocol Optimization for Renal Mass Detection and Characterization The purpose of this exam is to assess the location and composition of a renal mass. 0000002227 00000 n endobj For example, renal masses that are homogeneous and have Hounsfield units (HU) measuring fluid density (between 10 HU and 20 HU) on noncontrast-enhanced CT are benign simple cysts.

CT CPT Codes - Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology - Washington Computed tomography (CT) and MR imaging are mainstays for renal mass characterization, presurgical planning of renal tumors, and surveillance after surgery or systemic therapy for advanced renal cell carcinomas. Computed tomography (CT) and MR imaging with intravenous (IV) contrast are the mainstays of renal mass evaluation. The excretory phase may be helpful for distinguishing urothelial cancers from RCCs and parapelvic or peripelvic cysts from hydronephrosis and for diagnosing calyceal diverticula. <>>> CT protocols should be tailored to different clinical indications, balancing diagnostic accuracy and radiation exposure.
