Abstract:
A retrospective review comparing bladder absorption of pertechnetate and Tc-99m sulfur colloid from the augmented bladder was performed. Based upon the author's findings, the routine use of Tc-99m sulfur colloid in this patient population is recommended to prevent the erroneous diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux and miscalculation of GFR due to the presence of background soft-tissue and blood activity.
