Abstract

Aim: To find out types of lesion(benign/malignant), age & sex distribution and diagnostic yield of MDCT .

Result: This study was conducted to evaluate the role of MDCT in detection and characterization of renal masses. This study included 60 patients (38 males:22 females)in the range of 2-69 years. All these patients of renal masses were studied and CT was correlated to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.

Conclusion: MDCT is useful tool for detection and characterization of renal masses.

Keywords: MDCT, Renal mass, Renal cell carcinoma, Wilms tumor.
