SPECT/CT for the Characterization of Renal Masses

Running, not enrolling

Conditions studied: Kidney Neoplasm, Renal Mass

In brief

This trial studies how well technetium Tc-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) works on clinical decision making in patients with kidney tumors. Diagnostic procedures, such as technetium Tc-99m sestamibi SPECT/CT may be a less invasive way to check for kidney tumors.
