Densities of a Simple Cyst

CT of Simple Kidney Cyst
CT through the left kidney shows a low-density cyst prior to contrast measuring 11.7HU (upper image). Following contrast (lower image), the density of the nodule remained at 12 HU. The low density and lack of enhancement indicates a benign renal cyst
