Abstract: Plain combined with three-phase contrast-enhanced CT is the most commonly used imaging technique for the diagnosis of renal masses, and it also plays an important role in predicting the malignancy and aggressiveness of renal tumors. The pathological findings of renal tumors are important in determining treatment options as well as prognosis. This article reviews current research and summarizes common CT variables for renal tumors, including tumor diameter, growth rate, enhancement characteristics, tumor margins, the proportion of cystic components, and variables related to the R. E.N.A.L. score. This paper aims to analyze the role of these variables in predicting the pathological malignancy and aggressiveness of the renal tumor.
