38 year old female with Complete duplication of the right kidney and upper pole moiety showing atrophy and partial duplication of the left kidney with prominent column of Bertin
US Partially Duplicated Collecting System and Column of Bertin
US of the left kidney in a 38year old female shows separation of the renal sinus fat by a column of Bertin reminiscent of a duplicated collecting system. The kidney measured 11.8cms which is large for a female.

Column of Bertin Corticomedullary Phase
CT of the Kidneys in the coronal plane with contrast in a 38year old female with a complete duplication on the right kidney and partial duplication of the left collecting system. The image shows a prominent column of Bertin (maroon arrowhead lower image) during the corticomedullary phase 20 seconds after injection. The column of Bertin contains both cortical and medullary parenchyma exemplified in this image
