Abstract

Nuclear renal scintigraphy has an important role in the investigation and follow-up of children with urologic or nephrologic problems. These scintigraphy examinations provide valuable information concerning on anatomy and function of the kidneys. Common indications of scintigraphy are unilateral or bilateral hydronephrosis, urinary system infections with or without associated vesicoureteral reflux, small kidney, single kidney and follow-up of many uropathies. The guiding principle in imaging children is to choose the least invasive technique with the lowest radiation dosage. Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses, which must be constantly borne in mind.

Özet

Nükleer renal sintigrafi ürolojik veya nefrolojik problemleri olan çocukların değerlendirme ve izleminde önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu sintigratik incelemeler böbreklerin anatomi ve fonksiyonları ile ilgili önemli bilgiler verir. Sintigrafinin yaygın indikasyonları arasında tek veya iki taraflı hidronefroz, vezikoüreteral reflü ile birlikte olan veya olmayan üriner sistem enfeksiyonları, küçük böbrek, tek böbrek ve çeşitli üropatilerin izlemi sayılabilir. Görüntüleme yapılacak çocukta en az invazif olan ve en az radyasyona maruz bırakan metot tercih edilmelidir. Her bir tekniğin üstün ve zayıf tarafları olduğu daima akılda tutulmalıdır.
