Description

Nuclear medicine examinations are primarily examinations of the function of the organs. In disease states functional changes normally occur earlier than morphological ones. Therefore nuclear medicine examinations are very usefull in diagnosis early stages of kidney diseases. They do not cause much discomfort for the patient and also play an important role in the follow-up. In addition to these general lines in the diagnosis of certain diseases and also for single cases, the possible positive evidence of compared to the different nuclear medicine examinations of roentgenologic and sonographic methods has to be taken into account.

Abstract (German)

Die nuklearmedizinischen Untersuchungsmethoden sind im wesentlichen Funktionsuntersuchungen. Da im allgemeinen funktionelle Veraenderungen denen der Morphologie vorauseilen, sind nuklearmedizinische Untersuchungen meist zur Frueherkennung von Nierenerkrankungen geeignet. Sie haben aber auch als wenig belastende Untersuchungsverfahren eine wichtige Rolle in der Verlaufskontrolle. Neben diesen allgemeinen Leitlinien muss im Diagnosegang der verschiedenen Krankheiten und oft auch im Einzelfall der moegliche Aussagewert der verschiedenen nuklearmedizinischen Untersuchungen gegeneinander und im Vergleich zu sonographischen und roentgenologischen abgewogen werden.
