Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis: comparison of extent using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in one case

M A Feldberg et al. Urol Radiol. 1988.

Abstract

In a case of diffuse xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) were used. The MR proved to be more precise in the preoperative evaluation of inflammatory extension to the spleen and into the abdominal wall. The CT was more accurate in excluding spread to the colon.
