1) To illustrate the most frequent CT and MR imaging appearance of the kidney, after percutaneous and laparoscopic cryoablation of renal masses. 2) To review the most common CT and MR recurrence patterns after after percutaneous and laparoscopic cryoablation of renal masses. 3) To evaluate the most effective CT and MR imaging examination techniques in the evaluation of the kidney after percutaneous and laparoscopic cryoablation.  

1) Percutaneous and laparoscopic renal cryoablation techniques 2) CT and MR imaging techniques in the follow-up of renal cryotherapy The most effective techniques were multiphasic acquisition (CT) and TSE T2w and dynamic ce-FS-GRE T1w sequences, evaluated before and after digital subtraction procedure (MR). 3) Renal parenchimal changes after Cryo ablation 4) The most frequent CT and MR recurrence patterns: a) morphology b) densitometry (CT) and signal intensity (MR) c) contrast enhancement patterns CT and MR patterns of recurrence in patients treated with renal cryoablation were the increase in size and vascularization of the treated areas, with the presence of an enhancing nodule within the ablation-induced lesion.
