1) To describe the most frequent CT and MR patterns of renal AML with minimal fat. 2) To calculate the fat content in renal AML with minimal fat, using Chemical-Shift MR Imaging. 3) To describe the usefulness of MR Imaging in the characterization of renal AML with minimal fat.  

1) Morphologic and pathologic characteristics of AML with minimal fat 2) CT and MR patterns of AML with minimal fat 3) Quantitative measurement of intratumoral fat content using Chemical-Shift MR imaging technique (Quantitative measurement of fat content using Chemical-Shift GRE MR acquisition (Signal intensity (SI) index > 25% was considered typical for AML).
