Dog Kidney: Anatomical Relationships Between Intrarenal Arteries and Kidney Collecting System
The detailed findings of canine intrarenal anatomy (collecting system and arteries) are presented. Ninety‐five three‐dimensional endocasts of the kidney collecting system together with the intrarenal arteries were prepared using standard injection–corrosion techniques and were studied. Although many results of renal and intrarenal anatomy in dogs may not be completely transposed to humans, the anatomical relationship between arteries and the collecting system in the cranial pole of the dog kidney is similar to those in man. This fact supports the use of the dog as an animal model for urologic procedures at the cranial pole
