ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the role of multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) reconstruction technique in evaluation of living kidney donors.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2006 to January 2009, six living kidney donors (3 men and 3 women, mean age 50. 1 years) in Peking Union Medical Hospital underwent preoperative MSCT scanning to observe renal parenchyma, renal vessels, and collecting system. The 64-slice spiral CT scan technology was used for reconstruction of renal vascular and collection system, with maximum intensity projection (MIP), curved planar reformation (CPR), and volume rendering (VR). Surgical data of the 6 cases were followed up and the results of surgery served as controls.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Seven renal arteries, including 1 right accessory artery, appeared at MSCT. Six renal veins, renal pelvis, and ureters were observed. All of their left kidneys were surgically resected and successfully transplanted into recipients. The operational findings were consistent with MSCT findings, with the accuracy of 100%.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>MSCT is an important technique for the comprehensive evaluation of living kidney donors. The technique deserves to be further applied.</p>
