Abstract

203Hg neohydrin renal scanning was done in 32 cases of various renal diseases to evaluate its diagnostic significance by comparing with I.V.P. and with the weight of renal parenchyme remained in post-nephrectomized specimens. 1. The incidence depicting warm area on renal scanning was higher than that of excretory findings on I.V.P.; approximately one third of non-visualizing kidneys on pyelogram showed positive renal images by renal scanning. 2. The size of warm area on renal scanning closely correlated with the weight of parenchyme remained in diseased kidney. 3. The technique of renal scanning was more simple and less hazardous than that of I.V.P. 4. Renal scanning would be so valuable in the diagnosis of renal diseases, particularly for advanced lesions and that the combination of renal scanning and I.V.P. was desirable
