Renal Dimensions Measurements: Accuracy And Repeatability Of Sonographic Compared With That Of 64-slice Multidetector Computed Tomography

ABSTRACT

Renal size like length measured by ultrasound and volume measured by CT could be used to monitor the progressof chronic kidney diseases. Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) has a growing importance in the evaluationof Kidney morphology and its vessels. But there is a risk of contrast media-induced nephropathy and exposure toradiation. Volume measured by CT is better than the length measured by CT.
