Capabilities and benefits of nuclear imagine (scintigraphy) for the assessment of anatomic and topographic and functional state of kidneys in congenital anomalies

Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of static and dynamic radionuclide imaging in the diagnostics of anomalies and evaluation of the functionality of abnormal kidney. It presents the advantages, disadvantages and possibilities of nuclear diagnostics of anomalies of quantity, size, position, relationship and structure of the kidneys. It was concluded about high diagnostic value of radionuclide studies and their use along with ultrasound screening in the observation of patients with the renal anomalies.
