Popis: | Evaluation of a failing renal allograft is a complex and challenging diagnostic problem. While ultrasonography with colour Doppler is usually the first approach for evaluation of graft dysfunction, radionuclide imaging is an excellent modality which provides complementary information regarding the perfusion and function of the allograft without any deleterious effect on the precious allograft. In this article, we review the imaging techniques of the nuclear medicine studies most commonly performed after renal transplant, discuss their roles and limitations in different clinical settings and illustrate with cases from our institution. Lastly, we will explore future development in the arena of nuclear imaging for renal transplant related complications. |
