Abstract

Determination of renal neoplasms, hematoma, infarct, urinoma, cysts, and pyelonephritis may require contrast material administration following unenhanced CT in patients with flank pain. In this pictorial review, we aimed to clarify when contrast material administration is needed following vague urinary system findings on unenhanced CT.
