title: Three-dimensional helical CT angiography in renal transplant recipients: a new problem-solving tool.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our objective was to describe the use of three-dimensional helical CT angiography for the evaluation of renal transplant recipients presenting with hypertension, graft dysfunction, or both after transplantation by evaluating the native and transplanted renal arteries in a single examination.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Early results indicate that three-dimensional helical CT angiography of renal transplant recipients presenting with hypertension, graft dysfunction, or both after transplantation yields valuable information that can be used to guide further therapy.
