Three-dimensional CT stereoscopic visualization of renal masses: impact on diagnosis and patient treatment

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether three-dimensional reconstruction with stereoscopic display of helical CT data sets and CT angiography are useful in the examination of patients with known or suspected renal masses.

Conclusion: Volume-rendering techniques applied to helical CT data sets coupled with three-dimensional stereoscopic imaging provide a complete examination of patients with known or suspected renal masses. Such information can help guide patient treatment and provide a single preoperative study when nephron-sparing surgery or total nephrectomy is considered.
