Can CT detect kidney tumors?

CT

scans of the kidneys use X-rays and computer-generated cross-sectional images. When CT scans of the kidneys are performed, the rays pass through the patient's body and are received and processed by the CT machine to obtain high-resolution images of the kidneys so that doctors can evaluate them. CT can help detect tumors within the kidneys. Kidney tumors usually appear as lumps or nodular abnormal areas, and determine the location, size, shape and density of the tumor. However, the diagnostic value of CT is limited, and it is impossible to determine the nature of the tumor, and for very small renal tumors, it may miss diagnosis, so it is necessary to combine B-ultrasound, biopsy and other methods to help confirm the diagnosis.
