Ultrasonography is important diagnostic modality in examination of kidneys. Availability, noninvasivity, low costs and relative inexpensivity

are main advantages. Is possible to perform 3D and 4D imaging. Harmonic imaging can be used in imaging of renal masses and

contrast agents are available for contrast-enhanced studies. Sonoelastography in the imaging of renal masses has been applied in vivo

recently. There is an increasing flow of data from studies investigating the role of ultrasonography in the evaluation of renal masses.

Keywords: ultrasonography, contrast media, renal tumor
