Computed tomography of the kidney.

N R Dunnick, M Korobkin

    Radiologic Clinics of North America
    |June 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computed tomography (CT) significantly improves uroradiology diagnoses by providing clear cross-sectional images and detailed tissue differentiation. This enhances diagnostic accuracy, potentially reducing the need for invasive procedures.
