A non-invasive diagnostic test that involves studying the renal arteries by obtaining high-definition anatomical images using CT (computed tomography) equipment and iodinated contrast. With the aid of workstations specialised for arterial studies, the image quality supports 2D and 3D reconstructions. This test is recommended, for example, in patients suffering from refractory hypertension that does not respond to processing, in patients with kidney damage in order to obtain a pre-surgical ‘vascular’ map, etc.
