  • Figure 1.
    Figure 1.

    Transition cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis. A: Conventional enhanced image (DECT averaged image). B: DECT iodine map showing an enhancement of tumorous tissue (arrow), no enhancement in coagulated blood. C: DECT virtual unenhanced image showing the hyperdense coagula within pelvis (arrow) and absence of increased in density of tumorous tissue.

  • Figure 2.
    Figure 2.

    Very small transition cell carcinoma of the distal ureter. A: Conventional enhanced image (DECT averaged image). B: DECT iodine map showing an enhancement of tumorous tissue (arrow) and absence of enhancement in coagulated blood localized inside distal ureter. C: DECT virtual unenhanced image showing the coagula within the distal ureter and low density of tumorous tissue.
