| Scanner Used | Siemens Somatom Plus 4 |
| Injection Rate | 3cc/sec |
| Contrast Volume and Type | 150cc of Omnipaque 350 |
| Area Scanned | From level of celiac axis to below common iliac aa |
| Scan Delay (2 delays if dual spiral) | 30sec/60-70sec |
| Length of Spiral (time) | 35-40sec |
| Slice Thickness | 3mm |
| Table Speed/Pitch | 5-6mm/sec or pitch up to 2 |
| Reconstruction Interval | 1mm for arterial phase 3mm for venous phase |
| 3D Technique Used | Volume rendering MIP in select instances as a complement |
| Comment: The technique is a dual-phase study with the arterial phase for arterial mapping and the venous phase for the renal vein and its variants. | |
