This prospective study was done in the Department of Radiodiagnosis at M.G.M. Medical College, & M.Y. Hospital, Indore. A total of 40 patients who were referred to our department with strong clinical suspicion of renal lesion and those diagnosed by ultrasonography or contrast enhanced CT scan having a renal mass on either of them, were subjected to a non-contrast.
ADC values are expressed in 10-3 mm2/s. DW imaging with ADC values allows differentiation of clear cell, papillary and chromophobe subtypes of RCCs, suggesting that DW imaging may be a useful tool in the preoperative characterization of RCC. Hence, MRI with DWI in particular is a very valuable non invasive tool for the Identification, characterization and differentiation of renal lesions.
