Summary
Patients with an incidentally discovered small renal masses (SRM) < 4 cm in diameter are
included. All patients will undergo biopsy for tissue diagnosis. Most patients will be
followed by imaging. Study intervention includes low MI US to be performed following both
bolus and infusion injection of Definity contrast. Presence and absence of vascularity,
pattern of vascularity, and TIC values will be correlated with the final pathology to find
features differentiating benign from malignant masses.
