Abstract

There are many pathologies that affect the kidneys. The focus of this paper is computed tomography of kidney cancer. Other imaging modalities for kidney pathologies are briefly discussed. A few examples of benign tumours and masses are presented. The bulk of the paper is a pictorial presentation of kidney cancer and its spread to other organs and bones. A range of unenhanced and enhanced CT images are included for self-assessment.
