Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1. Perfusion MRI
Coronal T1-weighted MRI (left) and Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI (right) of a right renal mass. 3D perfusion parametric map was obtained showing the microcirculation of the mass. Red color indicates a high level of perfusion. Pathology revealed clear cell RCC, Fuhrman grade 4. Reproduced from Wu et al. with permission.
Figure 2
Figure 2. Diffusion Weighted MRI
Axial DWI (left) and ADC (right) images of the same right renal mass with a b value of 800 s/mm2. On DWI, the high-grade clear cell RCC appears hyperintense, showing restricted diffusion, while the ADC map shows hypointensity, confirming this finding. Reproduced from Wu et al. with permission.
