[Diagnostic potential of indirect radionuclide angiography in kidney cancer]
Abstract:
Indirect radionuclide angiography was performed in 95 suspects for renal tumor. The data obtained by the said procedure were compared to those yielded by surgery, autopsy and X-ray contrast angiography. The majority of renal tumors were found to have specific angionephroscintigraphic features. The sensitivity of the method in detecting renal carcinoma was 90.2%, specificity--86.3 and diagnostic reliability--88.4%. The procedure proved functional, sparing and highly informative.
