摘要：
There have been huge advances in CT technology since its introduction more than 30 years ago. Modern, multislice CT scanners are fast and produce truly volumetric data, allowing it to be reconstructed in almost any plane. In this article, we explore the impact of these developments on the use of CT in imaging of the renal tract. Whilst it may take the radiologist longer to review and process the increased amount of data that is produced, diagnostic accuracy is unquestionably improved and new and exciting challenges are presented to the radiologist as he learns to manipulate and interpret the data in a way that he has never done before.
