| Detector Collimation (mm) | 0.6 |
| Slice thickness (mm) | 0.75- 3mm |
| Pitch | 0.75 |
| Kernel | 30 |
| Reconstruction interval | 0.75-3mm |
| Image order (acquisition) | Cr-ca |
| Oral contrast | 1000 cc water |
| IV contrast volume and type | 100-120 cc Omnipaque 350 |
| Injection rate | 3-4cc/sec |
| Scan delay (sec) | 25 & 60 sec |

| Comment: Dual phase CT is done for staging and defining tumor extent. The venous phase at 60-70 sec is critical for renal vein and IVC involvement. We do not do non-contrast CT like we do for suspected adenoma. | |
