CT Scan Study of Kidney Cysts
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at CT scans of the kidneys to better understand kidney cysts (fluid-filled sacs). If you already have a CT scan showing a kidney cyst, you may be able to join to help doctors learn more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a CT KUB scan (a CT scan of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder).
- The scan has found one or more kidney cysts (fluid-filled sacs).
- You do not have a known kidney tumor (cancer or growth).
- Your CT scan must be clear and complete, without blurring or missing parts.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study monitors people who have complex kidney cysts to see how they should be followed over time and whether it helps guide treatment. You may get regular imaging (scans), and you’ll be asked to complete questionnaires in English or French.
This study checks how accurately doctors can estimate the size of kidney stones using CT scan images before treatment. It may help improve planning for procedures like shockwave therapy, scope procedures, or surgery.
This trial tests a special PET scan that may help doctors see if a complex kidney cyst is cancerous before surgery. It is for people who are already scheduled to have surgery to remove a kidney mass.
This trial studies using a kidney tumor biopsy and a special nuclear scan (SPECT/CT using sestamibi) to help evaluate kidney tumors before surgery. It may help doctors better characterize tumors that appear suspicious on imaging.
This trial compares two ways to treat a specific type of kidney cyst: surgery or active surveillance (regular scans and check-ins). It aims to see which approach works better for people with Bosniak 3 cysts.
This study tests whether a special PET scan (using a radioactive tracer called rubidium-82) can help doctors better understand how aggressive a kidney cancer is before surgery. If you have a medium-sized kidney tumor that looks like clear cell cancer and you are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
