Magnetic Resonance Imaging Virtual Biopsy of Common Solid Renal Masses—A Pictorial Review

AlexandrosSfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Magnetic Resonance Imaging Virtual Biopsy of Common Solid Renal Masses—A Pictorial Review via Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography - Published Ahead-of-Print The expanded application of radiologic imaging resulted in an increased incidence of renal masses in the recent decade. Clinically, it is difficult to determine the malignant potential of the renal masses, thus resulting in complex management. Image-guided biopsies are the ongoing standard of care to identify molecular variance but are limited by tumor accessibility and heterogeneity. With the evolving importance of individualized cancer therapi es, radiomics has displayed promising results in the identification of tumoral mutation status on routine imaging. This article discusses how magnetic resonance imaging features can guide a radiologist toward identifying renal mass characteristics. View on Web
