Role of radionuclide imaging in nephro-urology.
Urinary tract diseases are common problem that, if untraeted may lead to progressive renal damage. Interpretation of a dynamic renal study includes evaluation of the parenchimal phase, the cortical transit time and the urine drainage phase. The diagnosis and management of urinary tract obstruction is an important problem in both pediatric and adult urology. For the study of urinary tract obstruction, conventional radionuclide renography has been modified to include, the administration of a potent diuretic. Dynamic renal study accurately reflect the functional status of each kidney.
