STUDIES OF RENOSCINTIGRAM

FIRST REPORT: SIGNIFICANCE OF AREA-SCANNING

Abstract

According to the results by the renoscintigram of Hg²⁰³ Neohydrin or I¹³¹ Hippuran, the former was found to be far useful while the latter was inadequate to scan the kidney.
The method was ascertained to be capable to indicate the renal function with less charge during the maneuvre and valuably to picture out the figure as an area-scanned seeming not to be so excellent that one might make a misjudge the local pathological state unless being accompanied with functional impairement of them comparatively.
On managing Hg²⁰³ which remains at the kidneys in long duration, a big caution should be taken for protection against its radio-activity.
