"The RENAL nephrometry scoring system is one of many nephrotomy scoring systems 4. It was developed to categorise renal masses into low, intermediate, and high complexity and was originally developed for renal masses based on MDCT features utilising a CT IVU protocol but can also be calculated from MRI features 1-3."
"RENAL is an easy-to-remember mnemonic of the five features scored as follows 1-3:"
"Alexander Kutikov and Robert G Uzzo, American urologists working at Temple University School of Medicine, in Philadelphia, USA, published their scoring system in 2009 3."
