Dynamic simultaneous anterior and posterior imaging of transplant and native renal function using dual-headed gamma camera.
The authors describe the nonvisualization of a renal transplant on DTPA scan with late visualization of activity within the bladder in a 27-year-old patient with diabetes. Origin of bladder activity was later clarified by dynamic anterior and posterior imaging using MAG 3 and an extra large field-of-view, dual-headed gamma camera.
