ABSTRACT

Table 2 summarizes the findings of the scintillation camera radioisotope studies in various pathologic states which affect transplanted kidneys. Accuracy and reproducibility of these techniques have been excellent. These studies have correlated well with the patient's clinical course and are often more sensitive than conventional methods of transplant evaluation. As more experience is acquired, it is our impression that the scintillation camera will continue to assume a vital role in the evaluation of the kidney transplant.
