Abstract:
Computed tomographic (CT) renal planimetry was used to study individual renal function in 32 adult patients with urologic disease. CT results were well-correlated to reference methods (r = 0.88, P < 0.001), which were radionuclide studies (N = 9) or separate creatinine clearance (N = 23). The difference between planimetric data and reference methods did not exceed 14% in any case and was less than 10% in 26 cases.
