The Importance of Obtaining Conjugate Views on Renographic Evaluation of Large Hydronephrotic Kidneys: An In Vitro and Ex Vivo Analysis
Abstract
PURPOSE: It is postulated that significant obstruction leads to decreased ipsilateral renal function. However, maintained or even increased differential renal function is often seen in patients with large hydronephrotic kidneys. The reason for such a phenomenon is unclear. We designed an in vitro and ex vivo experimental model that permits the controlled orientation of thinned renal parenchyma and background activity during gamma camera …
