Purpose To assess the diagnostic performance and interreader agreement of a standardized diagnostic algorithm in determining the histologic type of small (≤4 cm) renal masses (SRMs) with multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Materials and Methods This single-center retrospective HIPAA-compliant institutional review board-approved study included 103 patients with 109 SRMs resected between December 2011 and July 2015. The requirement for informed consent was waived. Presurgical renal MR images were reviewed by seven radiologists with diverse experience. Eleven MR imaging features were assessed, and a standardized diagnostic algorithm was used to determine the most likely histologic diagnosis, which was compared with histopathology results after surgery. Interreader variability was tested with the Cohen κ statistic. Regression models using MR imaging features were used to predict the histopathologic diagnosis with 5% significance level. Results Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and papillary RCC were diagnosed, with sensitivities of 85% (47 of 55) and 80% (20 of 25), respectively, and specificities of 76% (41 of 54) and 94% (79 of 84), respectively. Interreader agreement was moderate to substantial (clear cell RCC, κ = 0.58; papillary RCC, κ = 0.73). Signal intensity (SI) of the lesion on T2-weighted MR images and degree of contrast enhancement (CE) during the corticomedullary phase were independent predictors of clear cell RCC (SI odds ratio [OR]: 3.19; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.4, 7.1; P = .003; CE OR, 4.45; 95% CI: 1.8, 10.8; P &lt; .001) and papillary RCC (CE OR, 0.053; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.2; P &lt; .001), and both had substantial interreader agreement (SI, κ = 0.69; CE, κ = 0.71). Poorer performance was observed for chromophobe histology, oncocytomas, and minimal fat angiomyolipomas, (sensitivity range, 14%-67%; specificity range, 97%-99%), with fair to moderate interreader agreement (κ range = 0.23-0.43). Segmental enhancement inversion was an independent predictor of oncocytomas (OR, 16.21; 95% CI: 1.0, 275.4; P = .049), with moderate interreader agreement (κ = 0.49). Conclusion The proposed standardized MR imaging-based diagnostic algorithm had diagnostic accuracy of 81% (88 of 109) and 91% (99 of 109) in the diagnosis of clear cell RCC and papillary RCC, respectively, while achieving moderate to substantial interreader agreement among seven radiologists. © RSNA, 2018 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
