Initial Evaluation of Computer-Assisted Radiologic Assessment for Renal Mass Edge Detection as an Indication of Tumor Roughness to Predict Renal Cancer Subtypes.
Conclusion: Using basic CT imaging software, tumor topography ("roughness") can be quantified and correlated with histologies such as RCC subtype and could lead to determining aggressiveness of small renal masses.
