Abstract
kidney disease. 1 Preoperative imaging of donor renal vasculature and functional evaluation is necessary to select a suitable donor and to plan surgery. The ability to view the vascular imaging in three-dimensional (3D) space should be undoubtedly helpful. An increase of detector rows in helical computed tomography (CT) from 4 to 16 has improved the speed of scanning, thereby eliminating motion artifacts and enhancing temporal resolution. 2 These benefits resulted in enhanced quality of both 2- and 3-dimensional (3D) images of renal anatomy. In this study we retrospectively evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of 16-section CT to evaluate renal vessels in living kidney donors by comparing 3D imaging data from 16-section CT with surgical findings.
