Assessment of renal vascular anatomy on multi-detector computed tomography in living renal donors.

Background: Prospective renal donors are a select population of healthy individuals who have been thoroughly screened for significant comorbidities before they undergo multi-detector computed tomography angiography and urography (MDCT).

Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe the anatomy of potential living renal donor subjects using MDCT over a 2-year period. The primary objective is to identify the renal arterial anatomy variations, with a secondary objective of identifying venous and collecting system/ureteric variations.
