Confused between ultrasound and CT scan for a kidney cyst?
Choosing the right diagnostic test is crucial for accurate treatment decisions.
In this video, Dr. Nitin Shrivastava, a highly experienced Urologist trained at AIIMS New Delhi and FRCS (Urology), England, explains which imaging test is best for diagnosing kidney cysts. While an ultrasound can often identify a simple kidney cyst, which usually needs no further evaluation, certain findings may label a cyst as complex. In such cases, a contrast-enhanced CT scan becomes essential to determine the exact nature and type of the cyst.
Understanding the difference between simple and complex kidney cysts helps avoid unnecessary anxiety and ensures timely, appropriate care. This video provides clear, practical guidance for patients and caregivers alike.
