[The value of computerized tomography and renovasography in kidney injuries]

Computerized tomography (CT) and renal angiography are compared in the staging of traumatic renal lesions. After evaluation of 44 angiographic and 74 CT investigations in 111 patients it was concluded, that CT is superior to angiography in the diagnosis of blunt renal injuries. However, if vascular injuries are suspected an angiographic investigation should be done.
