Overview
This course addresses new approaches in imaging renal masses, renovascular disease, and bladder cancer. It also explores the advantages and challenges of urinary tract MRI in a pediatric population.
Target Audience
Clinicians with an interest and practice in urinary imaging, including those with an interest in pediatric urinary disease. Scientists with an interest in technical challenges of imaging the kidneys and bladder.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
- Define the role of MRI in staging renal and bladder cancers;
- Explore the role of MRI for active surveillance of renal masses; and
- Describe the usage of MR urography in a pediatric population.
| 15:45 |  | MRI for Active Surveillance of Renal Masses Kye Jin Park Keywords: Body: Kidney, Cross-organ: Cancer Synopsis: - Introduction: Active surveillance of renal mass is defined as serial imaging that monitors serial changes regarding growth and morphology.
- Patient selection: According to several published guidelines and white papers, small renal masses especially < 2 cm with significant comorbidities and/or limited life expectancy are eligible for active surveillance.
- Active surveillance of solid renal masses: The role of MRI will be discussed with the use of the clear cell likelihood ratio as a supportive tool.
- Active surveillance of cystic renal masses: Serial changes in morphology is important in cystic renal masses.
