Abstract

Image-guided renal biopsies have an increasing role in clinical practice. Renal mass and renal parenchymal biopsy indications, techniques, and other clinical considerations are reviewed in this article. Image-guided renal mass ablation shows significant promise and increasing clinical utility as more studies demonstrate its safety and efficacy. Renal mass ablation indications, techniques, and other considerations are also reviewed.

Keywords: Renal mass ablation; Renal mass biopsy; Renal parenchymal biopsy.
