Radiologic Imaging of Kidney Tumors

Release Date: 2024-06-10

Radiological imaging plays a crucial role in the detection, characterization, treatment planning and follow-up of kidney tumors. With the increasing utilization of imaging techniques, a significant number of kidney tumors are now incidentally discovered. As radiologists, our primary objective is to accurately differentiate between benign and malignant tumors, thereby guiding appropriate treatment strategies. Various imaging [...]

    Radiological imaging plays a crucial role in the detection, characterization, treatment planning and follow-up of kidney tumors. With the increasing utilization of imaging techniques, a significant number of kidney tumors are now incidentally discovered. As radiologists, our primary objective is to accurately differentiate between benign and malignant tumors, thereby guiding appropriate treatment strategies. Various imaging modalities can be employed for this purpose, each possessing unique advantages and limitations in different clinical scenarios. This paper aims to discuss common renal masses and explore the available imaging modalities used for their differentiation.

    3Assistant professor Dr. Muhammed Bilal Akıncı completed his medical education at Uludağ University in 2016. After working as a general practitioner for a short time, he started working as an assistant at Van Yüzüncüyıl University for specialist training in radiology. He became a radiologist in 2021. He worked as a radiologist at a state hospital for 2 years. He has been working as a lecturer in the department of interventional radiology at Van Yüzüncüyıl University since 2023. He has scientific studies and oral presentations in the field of diagnostic and interventional radiology. He also works on the use of artificial intelligence in radiological imaging.
