Imaging of Renal Arteries
| Imaging Technique | Sensitivity (%) | Specificity (%) | PPV (%) | NPV (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Angiography (Gold Standard) | 100 (31/31) | 100 (16/16) | 100 (31/31) | 100 (16/16) |
| US | 28 (7/28) p = 0.003 |
100 (13/13) p = 0.6 |
100 (7/7) p = 0.6 |
41.9 (13/31) p = 0.06 |
| MRA | 62.5 (5/8) p = 0.3 |
100 (1/1) p = 0.8 |
100 (5/5) p = 0.6 |
40 (2/5) p = 0.2 |
| CTA | 84.2 (16/19) p = 0.4 |
70 (7/10) p = 0. 4 |
84.2(16/19) p = 0.4 |
70 (7/10) p = 0.4 |
p values are obtained from a comparison with Angiography
PPV positive predictive value, NPV negative predictive value, US ultrasound, MRA magnetic resonance angiography, CTA computed tomography angiography
