Dynamic thin-section computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate renal cell carcinoma in 80 patients. The lesion was correctly staged with CT in 90% of patients. With use of the dynamic technique, the ipsilateral renal vein was depicted in 99% of patients. Extension of the tumor to the renal vein or the inferior vena cava was correctly detected in 18 of 19 patients. Actual depiction of tumor thrombus was a far more accurate indicator of renal vein invasion than was the identification of isolated renal vein enlargement. Dynamic thin-section CT of the kidney should be considered the routine method for comparison studies with other newer cross-sectional techniques in the evaluation of renal cell carcinoma.
