(Top) The 1st in a series of 3 correlative longitudinal oblique multiplanar reconstruction CT images of the left kidney, through planes
commonly used when examining the patient with ultrasound, shows clear visualization of the kidney, renal pedicle, and surrounding
structures. This makes multidetector row CT the imaging modality of choice (over ultrasound) in patients suspected to have renal injury.
(Middle) Correlative longitudinal oblique multiplanar reconstruction CT of the left kidney in a plane more posterior to the previous
image. (Bottom) Correlative longitudinal oblique multiplanar reconstruction CT of the left kidney in a plane more anterior than the
previous 2 images.
