Imaging approach to the suspected renal mass

Radiol Clin North Am. 1985 Sep;23(3):503-29.

Abstract

The authors present their algorithmic approach to the detection, characterization, and staging of renal masses. Based on classification of urographic findings, the patient may be triaged to the appropriate cross-sectional or invasive imaging modality that will result in the most cost-effective management.
