A 3D ANATOMICAL ANALYSIS OF ARTERIAL BASINS AND VENOUS DRAINAGE ZONES IN KIDNEYS WITH A TWO-ZONE BLOOD SUPPLY SYSTEM

Abstract

Purpose of the study: To review the zonal features of the blood supply to the kidneys and to identify the venous basins, depending on the options for the structure of the arterial and venous bed of the kidney.  Materials and methods. The study was carried out on 124 polychrome corrosive preparations of the arterial and venous systems of the human kidney. For digitization, the preparations were subjected to 3D scanning. The authors identified the zones of local blood supply to the areas of the renal parenchyma and venous drainage depending on the variants of the division of the renal artery and the fusion of the renal vein in a 3D projection in a computer program.
