Hematuria evaluation remains a common problem, particularly in patients who smoke and are at risk for urothelial tumors. Lifetime surveillance of the urothelium is often required once urothelial cancer is…
Renal tumors encompass a heterogeneous disease spectrum, which confounds patient management and treatment. Percutaneous biopsy is limited by an inability to sample every part of the tumor. Radiomics may provide…
Multiparametric MR imaging is being used for prostate cancer diagnosis. However, many cancers are missed and the performance needs to improve before it can be used for population-level screening. We…
MR imaging has been increasingly used as a problem-solving adjunct after an initial ultrasound examination for a variety of penile disorders, and is the best cross-sectional imaging modality for the…
Key points • MR imaging has been reported to be particularly successful in the differentiation of Ta-T1 tumors from T2 and higher staged tumors with 90% sensitivity and 88% specificity…
MR imaging-guided focal therapy is a viable treatment option for patients with localized prostate cancer. After the identification of a malignant focus in the prostate gland on multiparametric MR imaging,…
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is among the most common of bacterial infections. Imaging studies are only required in cases of complicated UTIs. Ultrasound remains the first-line imaging method; however, CT…
Retroperitoneal diseases are frequently a great clinical challenge because of their nonspecific presentation. Diseases may be asymptomatic with indolent biological behavior, and often show a large mass at initial imaging…
MR imaging has been optimized for the evaluation of a multitude of disease processes affecting the kidneys. A wide variety of noncontrast methods are available for the evaluation of both…
