THE ROLE OF RADIOISOTOPE RENAL SCANNING IN THE ASSESSMENT OF RENAL DISEASE.

Experience with 500 radio-chlormerodrin renal scans has shown that the technique can detect (1) altered renal function, both focal and generalized, (2) space-occupying kidney lesions, and (3) renal size and disease in some cases in which the blood urea nitrogen is elevated and the excretory urogram inconclusive.The technique is valuable as an adjunct to the intravenous pyelogram since it may discriminate more disease than was thought to be present or may distinguish between anomalous variations in renal outline and calyceal displacement from parenchymal disease. The technique is completely harmless and there are no known contraindications to the test agent, radio-chlormerodrin.

DETECTION OF PERICARDIAL EFFUSION BY RADIOISOTOPE HEART SCANNING.

A marked difference between the cardiac silhouette on the six-foot chest roentgenogram and the cardiac blood pool, determined by radioisotope scanning, has been shown to be consistent with pericardial effusion and/or thickening. It has also been observed that the cardiac blood pool is separated from the liver margin by the interposition of pericardial fluid and/or thickening. This separation was not demonstrated in the presence of a normal pericardium. To appreciate these features, 400 muc. of radioiodinated human serum albumin and 50 muc. of colloidal radiogold were used for scanning. The former outlind the blood pool and the latter demonstrated the position of the liver.
