[Sequential renal scintiscanning with 99mTc calcium gluconate. Possibilities and limitations].
The methods used in the study of the kidney are discussed and sequential scintiscanning is suggested as a means of supplementing purely morphological data with morpho-functional data. An account of the modalities employed with a variety of radio-compounds and reasons are proffered for the choice of 99mTc calcium gluconate. Results obtained with this method are described. These include the acquisition of information concerning the function and shape of the renal parenchyma and urinary tracts. Organic classification of the results will be dealt with in a later paper. It is felt that the method proposed is a valuable diagnostic aid with interesting possibilities in the study of diseases of the urinary apparatus.
