Learning objectives
a) The main objective of this study is to instruct radiologists about the use of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) as a non-invasive diagnostic method in potential renal donors; with the aim to show the advantages and disadvantages that this method has for the patient in the pre-surgical preparation of the donor [1,2].
Determine the anatomic variants among potential living donors within the state of Queretaro,
Mexico; which will aid in the selection of the suitable kidney for donation,
as well as pre-surgical preparation.
b) Determine the renal vasculature (anatomic variants) among potential living donors within the state of Queretaro,
Mexico through the use of MRA and posteriorly validating these findings through the surgical findings of the kidney selected for transplantation.
The MRA will aid in the selection of the suitable kidney for donation,
the pre-surgical preparation,
reducing waiting time; hence lowering complications,
morbidities and mortalities associated with kidney exeresis.
c) To facilitate interdisciplinary work,
as well as lowering pre-surgical costs [3]; making this procedure more accessible to the Mexican population.
