“…The original description proposed by Bosniak for 28 years ago is widely used nowadays with few changes, corroborating the relevance of a full command of the classification of these lesions by radiologists and urologists in their daily practices (3,12,13) .…”

“…However, MRI findings can also be correlated to the classification due to its ability to identify similar characteristics as CT scans [ 3 ]. There are also scenarios where MRI is superior to CT in determining cystic disease as it can confirm septations and parietal thickening that can be missed on CT [ 7 ]. In a retrospective analysis of CT and MRI from 68 renal masses, MRI findings corresponded with CT staging in 81% (56).…”

The Bosniak Classification is used to quantify the risk of malignancy and need for observation or radical treatment based on the findings of computed tomography (CT). The case described is that of a 65-year-old man with renal cystic disease who was initially given a Bosniak stage IIF classification and was subsequently managed with CT surveillance. CT surveillance showed increased cyst size in the left kidney with cystic changes, however, the Bosniak classification remained the same. It was not until the patient deteriorated further that an MRI was indicated. The MRI findings upgraded the lesion from Bosniak IIF to Bosniak III. As a result, the patient underwent a radical left nephrectomy and a biopsy, which revealed clear cell carcinoma. This case argues the limitations of the Bosniak classification and the value of using MRI at an earlier stage, especially with unusual circumstances such as a chronic history of enlarging cysts.

“…However, some are cancerous or are suspicious for cancer and are commonly removed in a surgical procedure called nephrectomy. Numerous renal cysts are seen in the cystic kidney diseases, which include polycystic kidney disease and medullary sponge kidney (see De Miranda et al). Kidney cysts are round pouches of fluid that form on or in the kidneys.…”

Processes with multiple correlated categorical quality characteristics are called multivariate categorical processes. These processes are usually shown by contingency tables and are characterized by log-linear models. In this paper, two monitoring approaches including likelihood ratio test (LRT) and F test are developed to monitor multivariate categorical processes based on the contingency table in Phase I. In addition, a change point estimator for multivariate categorical processes is developed in Phase I. The performances of the two proposed approaches are evaluated in terms of probability of signal, while the performance of the proposed change point estimator is evaluated in terms of accuracy and precision criteria through simulation experiments. Meanwhile, we compare the performance of the two proposed control charts with an existing control chart called "−2LRT" control chart for multivariate categorical processes. In the end, a typical application of the proposed methods is illustrated in a real-world health care system.
