Abstract

In visualizing the kidneys and renal arteries, the digital subtraction angiography (DSA) image is degraded by peristalsis and overlying bowel gas. In 25 patients we evaluated the efficacy of the prone position to counter these technical difficulties and found that the prone position offers visualization superior to the supine, especially in obese and uncooperative patients and those with abundant bowel gas. We advocate that prone imaging be included routinely in renal DSA.
