Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 The peeled (−12 mm) model of right kidney reconstructed by computer software (left and right). The level of peeling is indicated with green line on the reference sectioned image (center). The renal cortex (renal column) is red, while the renal medulla (renal pyramid, renal papilla) is pink. The renal column includes the interlobular artery and vein. Head shapes are appended to represent the viewpoints of the volume model and the sectioned image: anterior view (left), horizontal view (center), and posterior view (right).

• 

  Fig. 2 The piled (+12 mm) model of right kidney. The followings are found on the anterior surface of the kidney: liver (superolateral), inferior vena cava and renal vein (superomedial), ascending colon (inferolateral), and the duodenum (inferomedial); On the posterior surface, we identify the followings: 12th rib (superior), latissimus dorsi (lateral), erector spinae (medial), quadratus lumborum (inferolateral), psoas major (inferomedial), and external oblique muscle (posterior).
