Scintigraphic evaluation of the kidney

Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 3

Abstract

There are more than one technique used to evaluate the kidney, besides the standard ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), there is also renal scintigraphy. The renal nuclear medicine procedures are grouped as in vitro (urine counting wells, basic probe detectors for clearance studies) and in vivo procedures (static and/or dynamic examinations done with planar gamma cameras, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to determine kidney parameters or for cortical imaging). Renal scintigraphy has been a useful tool, since the early 1950s, in the diagnosis and management of many pathological changes in the kidney, especially in measuring renal function (e.g. obstructive/nonobstructive uropathies, renal inflammatory diseases, tumours, renal hypertension, and renal transplant viability).
