Observations on renal scanning and intravenous urography in acute segmental renal infarction

Clin Nucl Med. 1981 Jun;6(6):253-7. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198106000-00005.

Abstract

Nine patients with acute segmental renal infarction were examined by renal scanning and excretory urograms. The diagnosis of segmental infarction by intravenous urography is difficult. Radionuclide imaging is the preferred noninvasive method for demonstrating and sizing the renal infarct.
