Abstract:The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of real time strain elastography for evaluation of solid renal masses.Material and methods: Forty two patients who were incidentally detected solid renal masses underwent Real Time Strain Elastography. Strain index value was detected for each lesion by dividing ROI of lesion to ROI of adjacent renal cortex. Strain index values and color encoding patterns of lesions and renal parenchyma were obtained. Mean strain index values and color encoding… Show more
