    Abstract:
    Following kidney allotransplantation a great number of complications threaten the patient and his graft, e.g. acute tubular necrosis, acute and chronic rejection, urologic and vascular complications and complications due to the immunosuppressive treatment. During the last decade a number of technical developments in radionuclide, ultrasonographic and radiographic imaging and intervention has significantly improved the possibility of early recognition and handling of such complications. Knowledge of the capability and limitations of the various techniques is of vital importance for their rational use. The aim of this review article is to give a short description of the various imaging modalities, the rational monitoring of the posttransplant patient, and possible handling of complications by the aid of imaging techniques.
