Pelvic imaging techniques in renal transplantation.

Results of renal transplantation have continued to improve, in part because of the earlier, less invasive and more accurate differentiation of the many causes of posttransplant renal dysfunction. Advances in pelvic imaging techniques have clearly played a major role not only in the diagnosis of these problems but, as noted here, in their treatment. Further refinement of currently available clinical techniques as well as newer experimental modalities will continue to help improve both patient and graft survival.
