title: Image-Guided Renal Interventions.
abstract: Image-guided renal biopsies have an increasing role in clinical practice. Renal mass and renal parenchymal biopsy indications, techniques, and other clinical considerations are reviewed in this article. Image-guided renal mass ablation shows significant promise and increasing clinical utility as more studies demonstrate its safety and efficacy. Renal mass ablation indications, techniques, and other considerations are also reviewed.
