The wide availability of cross-sectional imaging is responsible for the increased detection of small, usually asymptomatic renal masses. More than 50 % of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) represent incidental findings on noninvasive imaging. Multimodality imaging, including conventional US, contrast-enhanced US (CEUS), CT and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is pivotal in diagnosing and characterizing a renal mass, but also provides information regarding its prognosis, therapeutic management, and follow-up. In this review, imaging data for renal masses that urologists need for accurate treatment planning will be discussed. The role of US, CEUS, CT and mpMRI in the detection and characterization of renal masses, RCC staging and follow-up of surgically treated or untreated localized RCC will be presented. The role of percutaneous image-guided ablation in the management of RCC will be also reviewed.
