DOI: 10.1002/jum.15299
Abstract: 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… read more here.

Etiology of Small Echogenic Renal Masses
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine"
DOI: 10.1002/jum.15946
Abstract: There has been controversy on how frequently small echogenic masses are angiomyolipomas (AMLs) versus renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and how best to manage these echogenic masses. We performed this study to determine the etiologies of… read more here.
