Nutcracker syndrome can be diagnosed with:
Nutcracker syndrome can be diagnosed with:
* Left renal [[venography]] — considered to be the [[gold standard (test)|gold standard test]].
* Left renal [[venography]] — considered to be the [[gold standard (test)|gold standard test]].
* [[Computed tomography]] (CT). The popular name "nutcracker syndrome" derives from the fact that, in the [[sagittal view]], the SMA and AA (with some imagination) appear to be a [[nutcracker]] crushing a [[Nut (fruit)|nut]] (the [[renal vein]]).
* Abdominal [[ultrasonography]] — not definitive but has been found to be useful.<ref>Takebayashi S, Ueki T, Ikeda N, Fujikawa A.
