[Dynamic gamma-camera scintigraphy as a method for evaluating the function of the ovarian parenchyma]

A dynamic gamma-camera scintigraphy is proposed as a combined method, providing morphological and functional picture for the presence of eventual pathological changes in the region of ovaries. After detailed description of the method results from the examination of 45 women are presented: 35 suffered from diseases, involving adnexal region and 10--are controls. It is established that normal ovaries are visualized medially from the large iliac vessels as clear, ovally formed homogeneous cumulation of radionuclide. No such cumulation is observed after lack of ovarian parenchyma or after not well made perfusion. The method has serious advantages, when anomalies in the development of ovaries are search for as well as in diseases, changing form and size of the ovary (deformation, lack of homogeneity, ect.). A method is proposed for its advantage that it is not invasive, the examination is performed easily and is safe for patients.
