2. Figure 1
Spiral computed tomography angiography (CTA) image sections of two control kidneys in an essential hypertensive patient. Both kidneys (A, right superior pole; B, left superior pole) display a mean cortical thickness greater than the 8-mm threshold (refer to the measurement scale located to the right of each panel where each increment corresponds to 10mm).

3. Figure 2
Spiral CTA image sections in a hypertensive patient displaying a significant renal artery stenosis. (A) Transverse axial section of the superior pole of the right post-stenotic kidney. The anterior, the lateral and the posterior cortical thicknesses show diffuse cortical damage. The cortical thickness values are 6 to 7mm on average, according to the measurement scale located on the reproduction where each increment corresponds to 10mm. (B) Transverse axial section of the superior pole of the left contralateral non-stenotic kidney. The cortical thicknesses were greater than the 8-mm threshold on average, referring to the same scale.
