Renal arteries: Renal a stenosis eval in transplanted kidney

Specific Anatomic Region Renal arteries

Application Renal artery stenosis evaluation in a transplanted kidney

Author Fishman EK

Reference Source Personal Communication

Scanner Used Siemens Plus4 Volume Zoom

KV / mAs / Time per Rotation (sec) 120 / 125 / .5

Detector Collimation (mm) 4 x 1

Slice Thickness (mm) 1.25

Data Reconstruction Interval (mm) 1

Table Speed (mm per rotation) / Pitch 6 / 6

Oral Contrast 750 cc of water

Contrast Volume and Type 100-120 cc of Omnipaque 350

Injection Rate 3 ml / sec

Scan Delay (sec) 30 sec

3D Technique Used Volume rendering supplemented by MIPS.

Comment: Non contrast scans are first obtained to localize the renal aa. Anastomosis. Contrast volume can be reduced to 80 cc if the patient has borderline renal function.
