Abstract

Introduction: In the clinical setting, kidney size determination is crucial since it can help with decision-making regarding the management approach. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has made it possible to estimate the mass or organ volume. When measuring organ volume, the MDCT, which produces 3-D reconstruction images, is especially accurate.


Objectives: This study aimed to measure kidney volume by using MDCT.


Methods: The data used in this study was collected from Dar Alshefa Hospital from June 2024 to July 2024. A total of 50 patients were examined in the CT department with the Geb machine Optima16 slice.


Results: The study is based on measurements of renal dimensions to determine the relationship between age and volume, and renal ellipsoid were the three measuring tools used These were done to obtain: renal length, width, and thickness to estimate the renal volume. These characteristics were utilised to model the renal volume equation with the spss and to compute renal volume using the rotational renal ellipsoid and it became clear to us that the most patients in the age group (36-50) were 21(42%) then the age group (20-35) were 16(32%) then (51-65) were 9 (18%) and at last age group (>65) were 4(8%).there was a statistically significant difference in LT length between males and females(sig=0.033) with mean (95.4(16.8)mm for males and (100.4(8.6)mm for females and in RT volume (sig.=0.035) with mean(133(48.3) cm3 for males and (115.8(32.1) cm3 for females and there was statistically insignificant difference in other kidneys measurements between males and females (sig.>0.05). The mean of Age (43.1(14.3) yrs, LT length (97.3(14.4)mm, LT width (49.1(8.5)mm, LT thickness (50.9(7.5)mm, LT volume (129.8(40.8)cm3, RT length (94.9(17)mm, RT width (46.7(7.2)mm, RT thickness (53.4(9.4)mm and RT volume (126.5(43.4) cm3 there was statistically significant correlation between gender and RT width (p-value = 0.00) and was statistically insignificant correlation between gender and other kidneys measurements (p-value > 0.05), between age and all kidneys measurements (p-value > 0.05


Conclusions: The study concluded that most patients were male in the age group (36-50) the mean LT volume was (129.8-40.8)cm3 RT volume was (126.5-43.4) cm3, there was a statistically significant correlation between gender and RT width, there was a statistically significant difference in LT length and RT volume between males and females.
