Detection of intratumoral susceptibility signals using T2*-weighted gradient echo MRI in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate whether T2*-weighted imaging can be used to grade clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC) based on intratumoral susceptibility signals (ISSs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: MR imaging from 37 patients with pathologically-proven ccRCCs was evaluated. ISSs on T2*WI wer...
