Vascular assessment of indeterminate renal masses (iRMs) remains a crucial element of diagnostic imaging, as the presence of blood flow within renal lesions suggests malignancy. We compared the utility of Superb Microvascular Imaging (SMI; Canon Medical Systems, Tustin, CA), a novel Doppler technique, to standard color Doppler imaging (CDI) and power Doppler imaging (PDI) for the detection of vascularity within iRMs.
