title: Kidney scintigraphy in the diagnostics of urological renal diseases.
abstract: The authors report on their experiences in the diagnostics of urological renal diseases gained by 256 kidney scintigraphies of a total of 227 patients. The more important trends of progress made in the recent years in nuclear medicine are outlined. The sensitivity (93%) and specificity (86%) of the examination based on the surgical and histological findings are determined. The technical importance of the study made from several directions using up-to-date radiopharmaca is emphasized in obtaining the results being favourable even in international comparison. The importance of the coordination between the urologists and experts well-versed in nuclear medicine is pointed out in selecting the examination best suited for the purpose (dynamic, static examination). Based on the literature and on their own experiences, the diagnostic results of the examination in detecting and controlling renal diseases are summarized.
