1. what are the major pathologies that involve the renal artery and what is their typical CT appearance 2. what is the role of CTA and 3D imaging in detection of renal artery pathology 3. how to interpret CTA of the renal arteries and understanding the range of pathologies involved 4. understand the potential pitfalls in lesion detection and in arriving at the correct diagnosis

The exhibit will cover a range of topics with discussion of key facts and potential errors in diagnosis. Case studies will be provided to enhance the learning experience. Topics will be addressed from specific imaging categories to specific clinical scenarios Renal Artery Categories a. normal anatomy and anatomic variations b. renal artery stenosis c. renal artery aneurysms including bleed d. renal artery dissection e. AV fistulae Clinical Applications a. renal transplant donor b. renal artery evaluation in tumor staging c. renal artery involvement in trauma d. renal causes in hypertension e. UPJ evaluation f. Hematuria evaluation g. endovascular stent planning Misscellaneous: Pearls and Pitfalls a. basic scan protocols b. injection protocols and pitfalls c. role of MPR, MIP and VRT protocols
