– the ratio of the CT value of the solid part of the mass to that of the renal cortex; – the ratio of the CT value of the solid part of the mass to that of the aorta; – the ratio of the CT value of the solid part of the mass to that of the inferior vena cava. CT plain scan – L01, L02, and L03; cortical phase – La1, La2, and La3; nephrographic phase – Lv1, Lv2, and Lv3; pelvic phase – Lp1, Lp2, and Lp3.
