Nuclear imaging in the genitourinary tract: recent advances and future directions. Abstract Text:

For almost three decades, noninvasive radionuclide procedures for the evaluation of renal disease have been important components of nuclear medicine practice. With the introduction of new imaging agents and procedures, these techniques can provide valuable data on perfusion and function of individual kidneys. In general, these procedures are easy to perform and carry a low radiation burden and sedation is not required. Moreover, radionuclide imaging of the genitourinary tract has become an invaluable asset to clinicians in the evaluation of renal parenchyma and urologic abnormalities.
