1) To illustrate the most frequent CT and MR imaging appearance of the treated kidney, after surgical and ablative treatments. 2) To review the most common CT and MR recurrence patterns after renal surgical and ablative treatments. 3) To evaluate the most effective CT and MR imaging examination techniques in the treated kidney evaluation.

1) Renal masses: surgical and ablative treatments: a) total nephrectomy b) partial nephrectomy c) radiofrequency ablation d) cryoablation 2) CT and MR imaging techniques: The most effective technique was multiphasic acquisition (CT) and TSE T2w and dynamic ce-FS-GRE T1w sequences, evaluated before and after digital subtraction procedure (MR). 3) The most frequent CT and MR recurrence patterns: a) morphology b) densitometry (CT) and signal intensity (MR) c) contrast enhancement patterns The most important CT and MR parameters in the evaluation of recurrence after renal surgical and ablative treatments were the presence of enhancing mass in the surgical site or the increase in size and vascularization of the treated areas.
