Despite substantial advances in the imaging-based diagnosis of renal masses, the increased detection of incidental renal masses with cross-sectional imaging poses problems to the radiologist and… (More)
As multidetector CT has come to play a more central role in medical care and as CT image quality has improved, there has been an increase in the frequency of detecting "incidental findings," defined… (More)
PURPOSE
Advances in our understanding of the natural history and limited aggressive potential of many small renal masses, expanding treatment options and the integration of molecular factors into… (More)
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine whether renal tumor enhancement or heterogeneity on triphasic helical CT scans is predictive of the papillary cell subtype or nuclear grade of… (More)
OBJECTIVE
Our purpose was to define a simple technique for timing a barium swallow by which radiologists can assess esophageal emptying in patients with achalasia before and after minimally invasive… (More)
BACKGROUND
The optimal treatment for incidental asymptomatic pancreatic cysts is not known. The purpose of this study was to determine whether nonmucinous cysts by cyst-aspiration analysis can be… (More)
Primary retroperitoneal neoplasms account for only 0.1-0.2% of all malignancies. Retroperitoneal neoplasms are most commonly mesodermal, neurogenic or lymphatic in origin, with lymphoma, liposarcoma,… (More)
Percutaneous biopsy of intraabdominal masses is a safe and accurate means of obtaining a tissue diagnosis without surgical exploration. It is often sufficient to determine treatment plans and in many… (More)

PURPOSE
We assessed the correlation between reduced renal function and parenchymal volume following partial nephrectomy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In 21 of 42 patients with tumors in a solitary kidney… (More)
