Abstract Objective: To evaluate the value of MSCT in living renal donors before operation. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five renal donors were undergone three phase enhanced MSCT scanning before operation. MPR, VR, MIP and CTVE reformation were performed to observe renal parenchyma, renal artery, and renal vein. Compared with those operational findings who were performed renal transplatation. Results: One hundred and ten kidneys could be found in 55 cases. Twenty-nine accessory renal arteries were found in 19 cases, renal artery pro-branch in 2 cases, accessory vein in one side in 2 cases, renal vein were pressed by superior mesenteric artery in 1 case, multiple renal cysts in 3 cases, calculus of kidney in 5 cases, renal hamartoma in 1 case were detected. Forty-six donors were coincidence to clinic standard. Conclusion: MSCTA has an important role as a “one-stop” technique for the evaluation of living renal donors, it can replace DSA.
