Kidney mass detected on ultrasound doubles in size over nine months Imaging was ordered when the patient's clinician could not palpate her ovaries. Ms. M, aged 64 years, was referred to our clinic ...

Ultrasound imaging works as well as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating renal mass size, a new study suggests. The finding “might be beneficial for long-term ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is more accurate and reliable than MRI for examining certain liver and kidney nodules, according to two new studies published in the ...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is emerging as a pivotal imaging modality in the evaluation of renal masses. By utilising microbubble contrast agents, CEUS allows real-time assessment of tissue ...

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tiny microbubbles used as ultrasound contrast agents can help patients with liver or kidney masses avoid follow up computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) scans ...

A simple enhanced ultrasound scan of the kidney is more accurate than computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in predicting whether suspicious masses are cancerous -- and can ...

Minimally invasive, nephron-sparing surgical approaches are considered the gold standard for management of small renal masses. But what about patients who are interested in avoiding treatment; ...

In a study, only 3 of 108 patients experienced complications, all of which were minor and required no hospitalization or further intervention. Office-based ultrasound-guided renal mass biopsy (RMB) is ...

The growth rates of small renal masses (SRMs) are highly variable early on during active surveillance, especially in the first 6 to 12 months, but this decreases with time and does not portend death ...

The multidisciplinary panel thought the tumor’s proximity to the liver made it a bad candidate for percutaneous cryoablation therapy. A hand-assisted laparoscopic right partial nephrectomy was ...
