Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) FOR COMPLEX CYST sensitivity of 94.5% and specificity of 69% IN DIFFERENTIATION OF RCC FROM AML sensitivity and specificity values of 89% and 96% renal vein invasion , sensitivity 83% and specificity 96%
Yingyu Cai et al; Quantification of Enhancement of Renal Parenchymal Masses with Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound
Computerized Tomograpy sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 75% Tumor location and complexity describe the relationship of the mass with the renal hilum, collecting system, polarity, and endophytic versus exophytic location Composite complexity profiles include the Renal nephrometry score, the PADUA score, and the C-index Davenport et al., 2017 Campbell-Walsh- Wein Urology, 12th edition
score of 4-6: low complexity score of 7-9: moderate complexity score of 10-12: high complexity
score of 6-7: low complexity score of 8-9: moderate complexity score of >10: high complexity

SAMPLE SIZE : 50 C-index fared better than other two SS in predicting trifecta outcomes; however, it is difficult to calculate and has highest interobserver variability.
MRI alternate standard imaging modality Enhancement of greater than 20% with intravenous gadolinium-based contrast on MRI is suggestive of RCC 1 Useful in masses smaller than 2 cm 1 Complication nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) in patients with CKD on dialysis 2 Donat et al., 2013 Bach and Zhang, 2008
