title: Contemporary radiologic imaging of renal cortical tumors.
abstract: Contemporary radiologic imaging has resulted in an increasing number of smaller renal cortical tumors being identified. The ability of imaging to classify these tumors is limited, although certain features may help classify the renal cortical neoplasm. The important role of radiologic imaging in tumor detection, characterization, staging, and follow-up of patients who have renal cortical tumors is reviewed in this article.
