Abstract

EBCT flow study offer a promising new approach to measure the renal blood flow. In vitro and in vivo studies were performed to resolve methological problems such as checking the linear relation between contras concentration and Hounsfield units or determination of the Treshold used for the mapping. First measurements of renal volumes and flow performed in patients showed expected values.
