Core structured template for the reporting of indeterminate renal masses evaluated at renal mass protocol CT or MRI

Core template	Dictation picklist
Mass size (single largest dimension)	[X] cm
Growth rate	Previously [X] cm on [most recent relevant comparison date] and [X] cm on [oldest relevant comparison date]
Mass type	[Cystic/solid/indeterminate]
Bosniak classification	[Not applicable (not a cystic mass)/Bosniak I (simple cyst)/Bosniak II/Bosniak IIF/Bosniak III/Bosniak IV]
Macroscopic fat	[Yes/no]
Solid enhancement	[Yes/no/equivocal]
Axial location	[Anterior/posterior/neither anterior nor posterior]
Craniocaudal location	[Upper pole/interpolar/lower pole]
Mass margins	[Circumscribed/infiltrative]
Capsular location	[≥ 50% exophytic, < 50% exophytic, endophytic]
Distance to the sinus fat or collecting system	[X] cm
Tumor thrombus (distal extent)	[No tumor thrombus/ipsilateral renal vein (no IVC extension)/IVC < 2 cm above renal vein/IVC ≥ 2 cm above renal vein but below hepatic veins/IVC above hepatic veins but below diaphragm/IVC above diaphragm/into right atrium]
