Bosniak was a pioneer in renal mass imaging, best known for developing a renal cyst classification system named in his honor. [5] [6] [7] The Bosniak classification system for renal cysts has been widely adopted by radiologists and urologists as the gold standard for guiding the management of cystic renal lesions, sparing many patients from unnecessary surgery for benign lesions.
Renal cysts are classified by malignant risk using the Bosniak classification system. The system was created by Morton Bosniak (1929–2016), a faculty member at the New York University Langone Medical Center in New York City. [1] The Bosniak classification categorizes renal cysts into five groups. [2]
The Bosniak classification is divided into four groups going from I, corresponding to a simple cyst, to IV, corresponding to a cyst with solid parts and an 85–100% risk of malignancy. [1] In polycystic kidney disease, multiple cysts of varying size in close contact with each other are seen filling virtually the entire renal region.

The Bosniak classification system for cystic renal lesions classifies them into groups that are benign and those that need surgical resection, based on specific imaging features. [ 48 ] The main imaging tests performed in order to identify renal cell carcinoma are pelvic and abdominal CT scans, ultrasound tests of the kidneys (ultrasonography ...
