Among these main diagnostic tests, other radiologic tests such as excretory urography, positron-emission tomography ( PET ) scanning, ultrasonography, arteriography, venography, and bone scanning can also be used to aid in the evaluation of staging renal masses and to differentiate non-malignant tumours from malignant tumours.

It should also be noted that Doppler ultrasound ( not really'arteriography') would not be used at the radial artery in order to make the diagnosis of TOS . Finally, even if a Doppler study of the appropriate artery were to be positive, it would not diagnose neurogenic TOS, by far the most common subtype of TOS . There is plenty of evidence in the medical literature to show that arterial compression does not equate to brachial plexus compression, although they may occur together, in varying degrees.
