Summary— The value of dynamic CT scanning for staging renal carcinoma was studied prospectively in 28 patients and the results compared with those of ultrasonography, arteriography and conventional CT. Arteriography correctly staged 48% of tumours; ultrasonography and conventional CT correctly staged 50% and dynamic CT correctly staged 72%. Dynamic CT staged renal carcinoma more accurately than ultrasonography, conventional CT or arteriography and it is suggested that arteriography should be restricted to specific indications such as the mapping of arterial anatomy and therapeutic renal artery embolisation.
