title: [Modern imaging of renal tumors - application in diagnostics and therapy. Characterization, operation planning and therapy monitoring of renal lesions].
abstract: This article elucidates the various tools used for the diagnostics and characterization of renal lesions. The advantages and limitations of ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are presented and discussed. In addition, modern imaging features of CT and MRI, such as iodine quantification in CT as well as diffusion-weighted and perfusion imaging in MRI are presented. Lastly, recent developments in standardized reporting of renal tumors regarding the intraoperative surgical risk are presented.
