Role Of Multidetector CT In Characterization Of Renal Mass

Abstract

Renal masses are a common clinical finding, and the accurate characterization of these lesions is crucial for proper management and treatment planning. Multidetector CT (MDCT) has emerged as an invaluable tool in the evaluation of renal masses due to its high spatial resolution, excellent tissue contrast, and ability to provide multiplanar imaging. This essay aims to review the role of MDCT in the characterization of renal masses, including its advantages, limitations, and current practices. Various imaging features, such as enhancement patterns, morphology, and ancillary findings, will be discussed in detail. Additionally, the potential of MDCT in guiding clinical decision-making and prognosis prediction will be explored.
