Abstract
Renal dynamic computed tomographic (CT) data for 16 patients with unilatera l renal artery stenosis were compared with those for 12 control subjects. T hree patterns of perfusion were distinguished in stenotic kidneys: pattern A, symmetric time-attenuation curves; pattern B, asymmetric time-attenuatio n curve with similar perfusion; and pattern C, asymmetric time-attenuation curve with impaired perfusion. Additional functional data can be obtained f rom the initial timing scan in a CT study of unilateral renal artery stenos is.
