Determination of glomerular filtration rate using dynamic CT-angiography: simultaneous acquisition of morphological and functional information.

Objectives: To determine the feasibility of a dynamic CT angiography-protocol in regard to simultaneous assessment of morphology and function.

Method And Materials: Fourteen patients with renal graft dysfunction received a dynamic computed tomography angiography (CTA) using a 128-slice CT-scanner with continuous bi-directional table movement, allowing to cover a scan range of 18 cm within 1.75 seconds.
