A multiphase CT-based deep learning (DL) algorithm shows comparable performance as radiologists for identifying benign small renal masses (SRMs), including lesions of 1 cm or less, researchers have found. More SRMs are found due to use of modern imaging modalities and an increase in surgery for suspected cancer, the team noted.
