title: [Radionuclide studies of the digestive organ and genitourinary system for general radiologists].
abstract: Radionuclide imaging is useful in demonstrating the functional anatomy of target organs and has been used to in routine practices involving the digestive tract and genitourinary system. Such procedures are now limited in number of practices because of the advance of morphological modalities such as CT, MRI, and US. The functional information and data analysis obtained from radionuclide studies may be feasible for CT, MRI, and US. This paper reviews radionuclide studies that are common in clinical practice in Japan.
