New Bosniak classification 2019

For more than 30 years, the Bosniak classification has been used to stratify the risk of malignancy in cystic renal masses. Although it is widely used and still effective, the classification does not formally incorporate masses identified at MRI or US or masses that are incompletely characterized but are highly likely to be benign, and it is affected by interreader variability and variable reported malignancy rates. This proposed update to the Bosniak classification addresses some of these shortcomings. The primary modifications incorporate MRI, establish definitions for previously vague imaging terms, and enable a greater proportion of masses to enter lower-risk classes.  New#Bosniak classification now including MRI and definition of terms.Reference  https://pubs.rsna.org/doi/abs/10.1148/radiol.2019182646?journalCode=radiologyFamous Radiology Blog http://www.sumerdoc.blogspot.com
