PURPOSE: We retrospectively evaluated the accuracy of gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance urography to detect upper urinary tract tumors.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 91 magnetic resonance urography studies for suspected upper tract malignancy were done in 70 males and 18 females with a mean age of 71.7 years. Breath hold coronal T2-weighted single shot fast spin-echo and breath-hold coronal 3-dimensional T1-weighted spoiled gradient-recalled echo images with fat suppression were obtained during the nephrographic and excretory phases after intravenous injection of gadolinium based contrast material. Two radiologists independently reviewed magnetic resonance images for a tumor by 4 regions (right/left and renal collecting system/ureter). Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated.
RESULTS: A total of 35 urinary tract regions in 18 males and 7 females with a mean age of 70.4 years were confirmed to have an upper tract malignant tumor and 219 urinary tract regions were confirmed to be tumor-free. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy to detect upper urinary tract malignancy were 74.3%, 96.8% and 93.7% for reviewer 1, and 62.9%, 96.3% and 91.7% for reviewer 2, respectively. When patients with a ureteral stent or nephrostomy tube were excluded from analysis, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 86.2%, 99.5% and 97.7% for reviewer 1, and 72.4%, 97.9% and 94.6% for reviewer 2, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance urography is accurate to detect upper urinary tract malignant tumors.
