Abstract

Renal tumors encompass a heterogeneous disease spectrum, which confounds patient management and treatment. Percutaneous biopsy is limited by an inability to sample every part of the tumor. Radiomics may provide detail beyond what can be achieved from human interpretation. Understanding what new technologies offer will allow radiologists to play a greater role in caring for patients with renal cell carcinoma. In this article, we review the use of radiomics in renal cell carcinoma, in both the pretreatment assessment of renal masses and posttreatment evaluation of renal cell carcinoma, with special emphasis on the use of multiparametric MR imaging datasets.
