Renal quantitative scintillation camera studies in the management of myelodysplasia

The renal quantitative scintillation gamma camera study has been used in the evaluation and management of 95 children with myelodysplasia. This study has been helpful in assessing renal function. The precise information, reproducibility of results, high correlation with excretory urography and a minimal amount of irradiation exposure to the patient make this procedure an ideal technique to evaluate and follow a population that needs continuous monitoring of individual as well as total renal function.
