Abstract
Spiral computed tomography (SCT) allows high quality performance three-dimensional (3D) surface reconstruction and maximum intensity projection (MIP) images of vessels [1, 5, 7]. These techniques should also be suited for the analysis of the opacified urinary tract and of renal calcifications. Therefore, they could produce in a single examination a complete morphological evaluation of the urinary system.
