Description

Three-dimensional (3D) volume-rendered computerized tomography (CT) has become capable of visualizing the vascular lumen due to the development of helical CT. 3D-CT has been carried out to demonstrate information of the renal arteries and veins of living renal donor candidates and recipients in our hospital. We herein assess the usefulness of 3D-CT angiography in cases of renal transplantation. (author)
