Evaluation of Bosniak Type IIF and III Renal Cysts with Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound
نویسنده
چکیده
Letter An increase in the segmentation visualization techniques resulted in a parallel, more frequent determination of complex renal cysts. Renal cysts were classified by Bosniak, and this classification was modified in 2003, in order to attempt to narrow the large interval between type II and type III by the definition of IIF category [1]. However, none of the recent diagnostic modalities could clarify the greyzone between type IIF and type III lesions (Figure 1). The main disadvantage of CT in this state is the determination

Differential Diagnosis of Complex Renal Cysts Based on Lesion Size along with the Bosniak Renal Cyst Classification
PURPOSE To identify size criteria for complex cystic renal masses that can distinguish renal cell carcinoma from benign cysts supplementing the Bosniak classification. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of 97 patients who underwent surgery for complex cystic renal masses from January 2001 to April 2010. The pathological results were compared with the lesion sizes measured by preope...

PURPOSE To evaluate moderately complex renal cysts of Bosniak category IIF. MATERIALS AND METHODS The regional ethics committee approved the study. In the period 2003-2009, radiological CT reports of 8,402 CT examinations of the kidneys were analysed retrospectively by one radiologist. All complex cystic lesions in the kidney (n = 550 in the same number of patients) were reclassified accordin...

A classification system of renal cysts developed by Bosniak is based on computed tomography (CT) findings and has been applied to deal with the complex cystic renal masses. Magnetic resonance (MR) has excellent soft-tissue resolution, it has been used to further evaluate some complex renal lesions, especially those suspected of containing soft tissue components and hyperattenuating cystic lesio...

PURPOSE To assess the clinical reliability of the Bosniak IIF category and to determine the proper radiologic follow-up duration and intervals for category IIF complex renal cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 201 patients with category IIF renal cysts from January 1996 to January 2011. Renal cyst progression to category III was defined as an increase in complexity of the cyst in follow-u...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of contrastenhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the risk stratification of indeterminate renal lesions picked up incidentally on abdominal imaging, in patients with renal impairment. METHODS A retrospective study was performed of nonconsecutive patients who underwent CEUS at our tertiary care centre for indeterminate renal lesions between March 2010 and Septembe...
