title: Nuclear imaging in urology.
abstract: Over the past 10 years nuclear renal imaging has proved to be a valuable diagnostic tool. The information derived from such studies must be correlated with all other imaging procedures now available, i.e., ultrasound and computed tomography. Prior to performing a study, the physician should focus carefully on what information is desired and whether or not it can be acquired. Once that is done, the use of these procedures in urology is extremely helpful and their aid in a given instance is limited only by the creative mind of the physicianuser.
