| Auditing Radiological and Pathological Correlation of Renal Tumour Size : Changing MDCT Reporting Practice | |
| Background to the audit | |
| Accurate measurement of renal tumours is required to plan appropriate treatment, particularly nephron-sparing interventions. Recently introduced Royal College of Pathologists' standards for histological measurement of renal tumours advise that maximum tumour diameter in any plane be recorded; this is at variance with our current radiological practice of bi-dimensional axial multidetector CT (MDCT) measurements. Is there any evidence that we should change our practice? |
