The purpose of this research was to identify the role of contrast media
(CM) in the diagnosis of renal diseases in CT. Fifty consecutive patients
with flank pain were examined by CT with CM over a period of 2
months, all patients were prospectively defined as either positive or
negative renal diseases 16 patients out of 50 with kidney mass, 12
patients out of 50 with stone and 8 patients with renal cyst and 14 patient
out of 50 with other renal diseases.
The result of this study revealed that CT is the modality of choice for
