title: Visualization of vascular structures during routine nephrotomography.
abstract: Using an immediate nephrotomogram at 30 to 40 seconds, one can show the nephrographic phase and often visualized the renal vein, splenic vein, and portal vein. In a series of 200 consecutive patients, technique was adequate in 169.
