title: The indeterminate renal mass.
abstract: Ultrasound and CT scan play complimentary roles for the evaluation of indeterminate renal masses. Fast MR imaging with and without gadolinium is performed for characterization of renal masses when patients have a contraindication to iodinated contrast material. Radiologists have a primary role in detecting and managing indeterminate renal masses.
