[Magnetic resonance tomography in hydronephrotic transformation, cystic lesions and tumors of the kidneys in patients with arterial hypertension].

MR tomography was carried out on MR tomographs Tomicon 1100 (Bruker, 0.23 T) and Magnetom SP 63 (Siemens, 1.5 T) in 126 hypertensive subjects (66 had cysts, 20 HT and 31 renal tumors) and 27 healthy controls. MR tomography proved highly specific and sensitive in diagnosis of renal new growths. In complicated cases additional information can be provided by paramagnetic contrast examinations. MR tomography as an on demand diagnostic method is recommended for use in a two-stage check-ups of patients with arterial hypertension.
