Evaluation of renal arteries in living renal donors: comparison between MDCT angiography and gadolinium-enhanced 3D MR angiography

Purpose The purpose of this study was to clarify and compare the accuracy of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) angiography using multidetector-row helical CT (MDCT angiography) and gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography using three-dimensional Fourier transformation gradient-echo sequence (3D MR angiography) for preoperative evaluation of renal arteries in living renal donors.
