ABSTRACT:
Renal size like length measured by ultrasound and volume measured by CT could be used to monitor the progress of chronic kidney diseases. Multi-Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) has a growing importance in the evaluation of Kidney morphology and its vessels. But there is a risk of contrast media-induced nephropathy and exposure to radiation. Volume measured by CT is better than the length measured by CT.
KEY WORDS – Computed Tomography, Radiation, Renal size, ultrasound.
