PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to clarify and compare the accuracy of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) angiography using multidetector-row helical CT (MDCT angiography) and gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography using three-dimensional Fourier transformation gradient-echo sequence (3D MR angiography) for preoperative evaluation of renal arteries in living renal donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 42 living renal donor candidates underwent both MDCT angiography and 3D MR angiography before digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Each MDCT angiogram and 3D MR angiogram was prospectively interpreted, and the findings were compared with the DSA results. RESULTS: MDCT angiography identified all of the 12 supernumerary arteries detected by DSA, whereas 3D MR angiography identified only 8. MDCT angiography identified all of the 19 proximal arterial branches detected by DSA, whereas 3D MR angiography identified only 16. CONCLUSION: A more accurate depiction of renal arteries in living renal donors can be achieved with MDCT angiography than with 3D MR angiography.
