You probably meant CT. It’s not used as a criteria to assess renal cysts in US. It was initially developed by Dr. Bosniak.

Bosniak classification works with CT evaluation not with US. The classification is used to help for identification of renal cancer.
Interesting comments because the Bosniak classification was made in an ultrasound report. I guess this is why I had not heard of the Bosniak criteria, I rarely evaluate renal CTs for cancer. Thanks for the informative comments.
I believe that the images of simple cysts type 1 and 2 are properly evaluated by ultrasound, that I have avoided making unnecessary tomography
