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 or ultrasonography (US), multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the modalities currently available for renal lesion detection, localization, and characterization.
