Contrast-enhanced CT of the kidneys demonstrates a striated pattern in the kidneys in the nephrographic phase.
Case Discussion
A case of bilateral striated nephrogram on contrast-enhanced CT, consisting of discrete rays of alternating attenuation extending to the cortex. This case is consistent with acute pyelonephritis and is better demonstrated on CT than on excretory urography.
