Overview

CT Scan with contrast is imaging technique of choice. CT Scan of abdomen and pelvis with and without contract is used to look for location of kidneys. It is accurate in determining the anatomical location and also help in differentiating the parenchymal from fibrous isthmus.

CT scan

Abdominopelvic CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of horseshoe kidney. CT scan accurately delineate:

  • Degree and anatomical location of the horseshoe kidney
  • degree of malrotation
  • help differentiating the parenchymal from fibrous isthmus.
  • showing the relation of the isthmus to surrounding structures.
  • can detect accessory vasculature
  • can detect associated renal parenchymal changes and collecting system abnormalities
