summary

The value of urography (IVP), ultrasonography (USG) and Computerized tomography (CT) performed before the operations in 110 cases of radical nephrectomy for histologically confirmed clear cell carcinoma was assessed Comparing their results with the degree of tumour progression found during the operation. The sensitivity of USG in the diagnosis of renal tumours was comparable with that of CT, and the possibility of recognizing of the tumour plug in renal vein was ewtl greater than with CT. The Combination of these methods obviates the necessity of carrying out renal arteriography.
