Abstract

SUMMARY


Objective: To describe the imanging characterise and analyze the value of 64-slice computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of upper urinary tract tumors.
Patients and Methods: Retrospective review of the patients who underwent 64-slice CT examination, was operated in VietDuc
Hospital with upper urinary tract tumor in pathologic result from 8/2013 to 8/2015. This was observation study comparing the imaging finding with the result from surgery and pathology.
Result: 56 patients with upper urinary tract tumor (32men, 24women), age 63.9±11.1. The sensitivity of 64-slice CT for upper urinary tract tumor was 92.86%. The accuracy of 64- slice CT in diagnosing T stage was 82.14%.
Conclusion: 64-slice CT had high value in diagnosing upper urinary tract tumors.
