Figure 2e: Images in a 44-year-old man with RCC. (a) Unenhanced CT scans and (b, c) contrast-enhanced transverse CT scans obtained at corticomedullary (b) and nephrographic and/or excretory (c) phases show a mass (arrows) in the right kidney, without intratumoral fat and with homogeneous enhancement and prolonged enhancement pattern. (d, e) Signal intensities of the tumor (arrows) and spleen (not shown) are 310 au and 410 au, respectively, on in-phase transverse MR images (152/5.3) (d) and 305 au and 398 au, respectively, on opposed-phase transverse MR images (152/2.7) (e). The signal intensity index is 2%, and the tumor-to-spleen ratio is 1%. This tumor was considered to be non-AML at double-echo chemical shift imaging and was confirmed as RCC at histopathologic examination.
