[Osteoscintigraphy and dynamic studies of the kidneys using 99mTc-pyrophosphate in tumors of the retroperitoneal space in children].

Abstract

Osteoscintigraphy and dynamic scintigraphy of the kidneys with 99mTc-pyrophosphate were used for investigation of 24 pediatric patients with tumorous involvement of the retroperitoneal space. Bone metastases were detected by osteoscintigraphy in 8 patients, pathological changes of the kidneys and urinary tract in 9 patients. Dynamic investigation of the kidneys with 99mTc-pyrophosphate performed in the first 20 min. after the drug injection showed disorders of renal evacuatory function of a varied degree of expression in all 24 patients. Dynamic investigation of the kidneys with 99mTc-pyrophosphate was not accompanied by an increase in radiation exposures therefore it was recommended at the first stage of radionuclide investigation of children with tumorous involvement of the retroperitoneal space followed by osteoscintigraphy.
