Association between Quantitative Classification of Renal Surface Nodularity and Early Renal Injury in Patients with Arterial Hypertension

Figure 3

Axial and 3D diagrams of qRSN on the renal surface of patients with arterial hypertension (white arrows and red areas). Top (the left kidney of a 44-year-old man in the control group), his qRSN is 1.428. Middle (the left kidney of a 56-year-old woman in the ERI group), renal surface nodularity (RSN) was detected on the axial CT image and 3D diagram. Her qRSN is 1.610. Bottom (left kidney of a 42-year-old man in ERI group), RSN was detected on the axial CT image and 3D diagram. His qRSN is 2.155.
