Dynamic scintigraphy in clinical urology.
The technique of isotope renal scintigraphy using Technetium-99m labelled agents and a gamma camera system on-line to a digital computer is described. Its value in diagnosing renal space-occupying disease and renovascular abnormalities is emphasised. A method of measuring individual renal haemodynamics and the possible potential of such techniques are discussed. Radio-isotope studies are rapid, simple, non-invasive and non-toxic. They give information complementary to that from urography.
