摘　　要：To assess the correlation of renal volume measured on CT with aortic contrast enhancement on the hepatic arterial phase of dynamic CT, 64 consecutive patients (34 men, 30 women) were retrospectively examined. Renal volumes were measured on CT. The aortic contrast enhancement was inversely correlated with renal medullary volume (r = -0.52, p 0.0001), and renal cortical volume (r = -0.3, p = 0.02). Renal volume may have inverse correlation with aortic contrast enhancement on the hepatic arterial phase of dynamic CT. This might call for adjustment of contrast material dose based in part on renal volume in the future.To assess the correlation of renal volume measured on CT with aortic contrast enhancement on the hepatic arterial phase of dynamic CT, 64 consecutive patients (34 men, 30 women) were retrospectively examined.
