Abstract Objective: To detect the value of dual-phase contrast enhancement by 320-slice CT in the differential diagnosis of common renal cell carcinoma(RCC) subtypes. Methods: The clinical data of 224 cases of RCC confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed, including 196 cases of clear cell RCC, 14 cases of papillary RCC and 14 cases of chromophobe RCC. The morphology, calcification and strengthening methods of the tumor were analyzed. T test was used to compare the enhancement degree of RCC in different pathological subtypes, the CT ratio between the lesion and the abdominal aorta, and the area under the ROC curve, sensitivity and specificity were calculated. Results: Clear cell RCC commonly manifested heterogeneous, and papillary RCC were homogeneous enhancement, while chromophobe RCC were homogeneous enhancement and solid-based heterogeneous enhancement. Therefore, the possibility of clear cell RCC was suggested when the focus was cystic or cystic and solid mixture inhomogeneous enhancement(χ2=4.286, P<0.05). The enhancement degree of clear cell RCC in cortical and parenchymal phase was significantly higher than that of chromophobe RCC and papillary RCC(P<0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of single-phase contrast enhancement for discriminating clear cell RCC from papillary RCC were 87.76%~92.35%, 78.57%~85.71%, the sensitivity and specificity for discriminating clear cell RCC from chromophobe RCC were 74.49%~87.73%, 85.71%~92.86%, the sensitivity and specificity of dual-phase contrast enhancement in the differential diagnosis of clear cell RCC, papillary RCC and chromophobe RCC were 88.27%~91.33%, 85.71%~92.82%. Conclusion: While reducing ionizing radiation, dual-phase contrast enhancement by 320-slice CT is useful in differentiating clear cell RCC from other RCC subtypes.
