Hello.When a kidney ultrasound shows cysts or other lesions, a more specific test to know the cause of lesions is CT scan.
I understand your fear of radiation, but if your urologist request to make CT scan is because it is necessary for a right diagnosis, and because Ct scan benefits outweigh the risks.
I wish you good health.
