Key Points

To assess the efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in characterizing indeterminate focal renal masses.
Utilized contrast-enhanced ultrasound for evaluation of renal masses.
Compared CEUS performance against contrast-enhanced CT and MRI.
Focused on stratification and surveillance of cystic renal masses.
CEUS shows performance equal to or better than CT and MRI.
Effectively discriminates benign avascular cysts from solid renal masses.

Abstract

CEUS is a safe and cost-effective means for characterization of indeterminate renal masses, with performance equal to or better than that of contrast-enhanced CT or MRI for stratification and surveillance of cystic renal masses and discrimination of benign avascular cysts from solid renal masses.
