摘要
Introduction: Imaging in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a constantly evolving landscape. The incidence of RCC has been rising over the years with the improvement in image quality and sensitivity in imaging modalities resulting in “incidentalomas” being detected. We aim to explore the latest advances in imaging for RCC. Methods: A literature search was conducted using Medline and Google Scholar, up to May 2024. For each subsection of the manuscript, a separate search was performed using a combination of the following key terms “renal cell carcinoma”, “renal mass”, “ultrasound”, “computed tomography”, “magnetic resonance imaging”, “18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT”, “prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT”, “technetium-99m sestamibi SPECT/CT”, “carbonic anhydrase IX”, “girentuximab”, and “radiomics”. Studies that were not in English were excluded. The reference lists of selected manuscripts were checked manually for eligible articles. Results: The main imaging modalities for RCC currently are ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) has emerged as an alternative to CT or MRI for the characterisation of renal masses. Furthermore, there has been significant research in molecular imaging in recent years, including FDG PET, PSMA PET/CT, 99mTc-Sestamibi, and anti-carbonic anhydrase IX monoclonal antibodies/peptides. Radiomics and the use of AI in radiology is a growing area of interest. Conclusions: There will be significant change in the field of imaging in RCC as molecular imaging becomes increasingly popular, which reflects a shift in management to a more conservative approach, especially for small renal masses (SRMs). There is the hope that the improvement in imaging will result in less unnecessary invasive surgeries or biopsies being performed for benign or indolent renal lesions.
