Abstract
Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis, management, and follow-up of renal masses. Often renal masses are incidentally detected on imaging. On imaging, most of the renal masses can be confidently diagnosed while some remain indeterminate and may require biopsy or active surveillance. In this chapter, we discuss various imaging modalities and imaging features of commonly encountered renal masses.
