[en] A renovertebral index is proposed for the evaluation of kidney size from routine examinations of the abdomen by computerized tomography, which expresses the ratio between the anteroposterior diameter of the kidney and the transverse diameter of the body of vertebra L 2. Normal values of the renovertebral index vary from 0.9 to 1.2 (x-bar = 1.0864, ssub(x) = 0.1115). (author)
