When imaging characteristics of metastases mimic those of renal cell carcinoma, the presence of known disseminated malignancy favors renal metastases.
Various MR imaging characteristics of benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumours were identified and they were evaluated prospectively for their role in prediction of malignancy.
Various imaging characteristics of tumours were evaluated statistically and their respective sensitivity and specificity in prediction of malignancy were obtained.
Based on this prospective study, we further analyzed the imaging characteristics of F-FDG PET/CT in IgG4-RD patients by comparing them with our routine patients (mostly with malignancies).

Particular findings, such as a solitary lesion, high-grade small bowel obstruction, the involvement of only a short segment, and the rather proximal location, are imaging characteristics that help to differentiate small bowel adenocarcinoma from other small bowel malignancies.
In 2007, Sohaib et al. showed that from the analysis of the MR imaging features, "the most predictive characteristics of malignancy are vegetations in a cystic lesion, presence of ascites, a maximal diameter greater than 6 cm, and necrosis in a solid lesion" [33].
