(Top) Correlative longitudinal CT multiplanar reconstruction image of the right kidney through planes that are commonly used when
examining the patient with ultrasound. Like ultrasound, multidetector row CT now allows evaluation of kidneys in many planes;
however, ionizing radiation and the use of intravenous contrast are its limiting factors, particularly in children. (Middle) Correlative
longitudinal oblique CT multiplanar reconstruction image of the right kidney cutting through the right renal vein is shown. The plane of
this image is angulated more medially when compared with the previous image. (Bottom) Correlative longitudinal oblique CT
multiplanar reconstruction image of the right kidney cutting through the right portal vein with the plane of this image is angulated
more laterally when compared with the previous 2 images.
