4.5 Conclusion

Magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful and versatile tool for single-modality evaluation of potential renal malignancies. A well-planned and executed high-field MR imaging examination can simultaneously detect and characterize a renal neoplasm. Multiphasic post-contrast imaging can generate MRA/MRV/MRU data sets with which, after post-processing, the radiologist can characterize the renal vasculature and stage the tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging also has an important role to play in helping clinicians to select the proper therapy for a renal tumor and in evaluating the patient following therapy. Ongoing advances in MR imaging, including the development of new pulse sequences, the increased availability of whole-body 3-T scanners, and the growing practicality of parallel imaging techniques will likely expand the role of MR imaging in imaging patients with known or suspected renal malignancies.
