Popis: SummaryThe values for the apparent size of the kidneys as determined by scintigraphy and radiography were compared on 100 normal adult subjects. The values for both the long and short axes, and for the area calculated therefrom, were corrected for the radiographic magnification of images. The results of the two methods agree reasonably well but scintigraphy must be considered to be the more reliable method as it provides a more accurate estimate of the short axis of the kidney.
