Review of renal cell carcinoma and its common subtypes in radiology

Figure 5 A 61-year-old female with a pathologically proven clear cell renal cell carcinoma in the right kidney. A: Axial in-phase T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging; B: Axial opposed-phase T1-weighted magnetic resonance image; C: Axial fat-only magnetic resonance image from a two-point Dixon reconstruction which displays the difference between echos from A and B. The tumor (arrow) shows high signal on C due to the presence of microscopic fat. Incidentally, the liver also shows high signal on C due to hepatic steatosis.
