Dual-Energy MDCT for Imaging the Renal Mass.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this article is to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of dual-energy MDCT applications for imaging renal masses.


CONCLUSIONS
Dual-energy MDCT has the potential to substantially improve the ability of radiologists to diagnose renal masses compared with conventional MDCT, potentially streamlining patients' clinical management.
