CT KUB for kidney cysts
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a CT KUB scan (a detailed X-ray picture of your kidneys and urinary tract) shows kidney cysts. It may help doctors better understand and describe these cysts, which could lead to more accurate reports and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a kidney cyst (a fluid-filled sac in your kidney) that can be seen on a CT scan.
- You are having a CT KUB scan (a special X-ray of your kidneys, ureters, and bladder).
- You do not have a known kidney tumor (cancerous growth).
- Your CT scan images must be clear enough to see the cyst properly — no blurring or missing parts.

This study tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors tell kidney tumors apart from non-cancerous growths using a regular CT scan without contrast dye. If the AI works well, it could help doctors make better decisions without the need for extra procedures.
This study uses computers to learn from CT scans of kidney tumors. It may help doctors better understand and treat these tumors. You might be eligible if you have a kidney tumor and have had a contrast CT scan.
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 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 trial compares two approaches for people with a kidney cyst that might be cancer: removing it with surgery, or keeping an eye on it with regular scans. It aims to see which option is better for long-term health.
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.
