| Abstract: | CT is the imaging modality of choice for evaluation of renal tumor. When a proper technique is used, CT provides high accuracy in detection of a renal mass. Certain imaging features and enhancement patterns on CT may help distinguish different subtypes of renal tumors. In addition, CT provides useful diagnostic information for treatment planning and follow-up. MR imaging and ultrasound function as valuable problem-solving tools. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.
