Measurement of Renal Pelvis Diameter with (MDCT) among Sudanese population

Abstract

This study was execute to demonstrate dimension of renal pelvic (length and width in three levels ); the study was conducted at CT departments in Nilain private center and ALripat hospital from march 2013 to may 2013. Random samples of fifty patients whom referred to CT department with CTU request, 25 male and 25 females with different ages were collected; axial and sagittal cuts in addition to reconstructed coronal section were done to calculate the renal pelvic clearly. From the study the RT. Renal pelvic was greater than the LT.Renal pelvic dimensions because the liver press the right kidney. Determine the renal pelvic dimension help in accuracy of diagnoses because there was direct impact between width of renal pelvic and hydronephrosis. Multidetector computed tomography is the modality of choice to determine dimension of renal pelvic and to visualize some pathological condition.
