Overview

PET CT and angiography may be helpful in the diagnosis or following-up patients with renal cell carcinoma. Bone scan is recommended in patients with elevated alkaline phosphatase to rule out bone metastasis.

Other imaging findings

PET CT

The use of PET CT is not currently used as a standard for the diagnosis or follow-up in renal cell carcinoma, according to the 2013 American Urological Association guidelines. However, its use and advantages are still under investigation.[1]

Bone Scan

Bone scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. Bone scan is recommended in patients with elevated alkaline phosphatase to rule out bone metastasis.[1]

Angiography

Catheter-based renal angiography is rarely necessary for diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma.
