Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, i can understand your anxiety. You should write your age. MRI scan has the best resolution and far better, than CT or ultrasound scan. Anyway, dont worry about a black spot on kidney, seen on MRI scan. Most probably, they may be meaning a cyst, which is a fluid filled swelling. Such cysts are normally seen in many people and of no significance. You can safely wait for 6 months and repeat an ultrasound scan then. If you've any doubts, you may send them to me, as a direct question. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
