a–b Shattered kidney (AAST grade V). The 3-mm-thick multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) coronal image (a) acquired during the nephrographic phase of the study shows a large inhomogenously hypodense collection occupying the renal and perirenal spaces with multiple vascularised kidney fragments within, representing a so-called shattered kidney. On the 10-mm-thick para-coronal maximum intensity projection (MIP) of the same series (b), the main branches of the right renal artery (arrowheads) can be accurately delimited and no active contrast material extravasation can be observed
