Abstract

Recently, the new modality of computed tomography has been demonstrated to define with remarkable clarity not only the normal anatomy of the urologic organs but also disease processes in the retroperitoneum and pelvic cavity We have performed 36 cases of C-T scan in urologic field. The results are as following. 1. C-T scan is an easily accomplished diagnostic method which provides highly accurate and clinically useful information about retroperitoneal tumor 2. C-T scan is useful diagnostic method for change of bladder wall or intravesical status on bladder tumor. 3. C-T scan is less helpful in detecting lymph node metastases of bladder tumor 4. C-T scan is valuable in evaluating the response of therapy and recurrence of the tumor.
