Renal imaging: comparison of technetium Tc 99m glucoheptonate with conventional arteriography

South Med J. 1981 Feb;74(2):187-90.

Abstract

We compared technetium Tc 99m glucoheptonate renal scan with standard renal arteriography in 22 patients with various renal abnormalities. The diagnostic accuracy and degree of image resolution indicates this study is a useful and safe clinical addition to the diagnostic armamentarium.
