Radionuclide studies provide information that is unavailable from other radiological techniques. Compounds labelled with a radioactive marker are administered intravenously and their distribution in the body mapped using an externally placed scintillation counter such as a gamma camera. In renal medicine, radioisotopes are used to assess:

  • renal function
  • presence of bony metastases
