Abstract:
Renal hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare tumor. There are no unique radiological findings that can reliably aid in its preoperative diagnosis. A 60-year-old Japanese male was admitted for an abdominal mass. Ultrasound revealed a heterogeneous hyperechoic mass. Computed tomography (CT) showed a heterogeneous mass and tumor vascularity by a precontrast and dynamic study with maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume-rendering technique (VRT). Radical nephrectomy was performed, and the histopathogic diagnosis revealed renal HPC.

Glomerulus: Structure and Function
The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous capillaries...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
