Renal Vascular Abnormalities

Abstract

Traditionally the evaluation of renal vascular abnormalities was performed with conventional angiography. Cross-sectional imaging now plays an important and increasing role in evaluating renal vascular abnormalities in both the native and transplant kidneys. Normal anatomy and disease processes will be reviewed, emphasizing the various strengths and weaknesses of ultrasound, computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).
