• MRI-guided biopsy of radiologically indeterminate solid renal masses (RM) appears safe, with a low rate of minor self-limiting hemorrhagic complications. • Diagnostic accuracy and primary/secondary diagnostic yield are high and appear similar to reported estimates for US- and CT-guided RM biopsy. • MRI guidance may be particularly useful for RM with poor conspicuity on US and CT, for relatively inaccessible tumors (e.g., tumors requiring double-oblique steep-angled approaches), and for young patients or those with renal failure.
