Our goal was to define the lesion enhancement characteristics of renal cell carcinoma metastases to the pancreas using three-phase helical CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Thin-section three-phase contrast-enhanced CT scans of nine patients with renal cell carcinoma metastases to the pancreas were evaluated. The helical CT protocol included 3-mm collimation and a 2: 1 pitch. Scans through the pancreas were obtained in three series beginning 25. 60, and 120 sec after the start of administration ofIV contrast material
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
