Abstract

The case of a CT-angiographically diagnosed partial renal infarction is presented. The infarction was diagnosed during a postoperative CT-control of the arteries after implantation of an aorto-biliac dacron graft. Reformatting of the axial spiral scans data was elaborated with surface rendering, maximum intensity projection, and volume rendering for comparison. Each of the reformatting modalities was able to re-present the renal infarction, elaboration time is short and a clear presentation of the spatial relationship can be obtained.
