Sažetak
Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in two groups of patients to determine its usefulness in evaluation fluid-containing renal masses deemed complex with computed tomography. On MR imaging 11 of 23 masses in group 1 and 19 of the 20 patients with simple renal cysts in group 2 were diagnosed as benign cysts. MR did not permit differentiation of cystic renal carcinoma from old hemorrhage or adenoma. When fluid within the cystic mass did not havethe MR characteristic of simple fluid, MR was not helpfull in characterizing the mass, but when the fluid intensity was similar to normal urine, the cyst was benign.
