ABSTRACT
La presentación clínica del cáncer renal y de su enfermedad metastásica es muy variable. El carcinoma renal metastatiza, por orden de frecuencia, a pulmón, hueso, hígado, suprarrenales y cerebro. Las metástasis son la causa más frecuente de lesiones extrapulmonares. Su diagnóstico se realiza mediante radiografía de tórax, como prueba de imagen inicial, seguido de la TAC, la cual permite determinar con más precisión la localización, origen y extensión de la lesión (para establecer el estadio de estos tumores), y porque además, junto con la ecografía, se utiliza como método guía para la realización de procedimientos intervencionistas
The clinical presentation of renal cancer and its metastatic disease is very variable. Renal carcinoma can metastasize, in order of frequency, to lung, bone, liver, adrenal and brain. Metastases are the most frequent cause of extrapulmonary lesions. The diagnosis is made by chest radiography, as an initial imaging test, followed by CT, which allows to determine more precisely the location, origin and extent of the lesion (to establish the stage of these tumors), and because in addition, with the ultrasound, it is used as a guiding method for performing interventional procedures

El objetivo de este artículo es revisar la terminología que describe las alteraciones morfológicas del disco intervertebral para lograr unificar entre radiólogos y especialistas médico-quirúrgicos el tipo, la localización y la gravedad de dichas alteraciones. Es crucial emplear una terminología simplificada, estandarizada y unificada, para que exista un adecuado entendimiento no solamente entre los especialistas en Radiodiagnóstico, sino también con las distintas especialidades a las que van dirigidos los informes radiológicos (Traumatología y Neurocirugía fundamentalmente). Esta terminología ayudará a hacer un diagnóstico más preciso y a un mejor manejo del paciente(AU)
This article reviews the terminology used to describe morphological alterations in the intervertebral discs. Radiologists must be able to communicate information about the type, location, and severity of these alterations to medical and surgical clinicians. It is crucial to use simple, standard, and unified terminology to ensure comprehension not only among radiologists but also with professionals from the different specialties for whom the radiology reports are written (fundamentally traumatologists and neurosurgeons). This terminology will help ensure a more accurate diagnosis and better patient management(AU)
