Cross-sectional imaging of renal masses: Imaging technique related potential Pitfalls and Solutions

There has been an exponential increase in the incidental detection of renal masses that is commensurate with the increasing use of cross-sectional studies for evaluation of a wide spectrum of patient symptoms.1,2 This increased detection of renal lesions necessitates better characterization to allow proper management.1,3 Ultrasound (US), multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are the modalities currently available for renal lesion detection, localization and characterization.
