This paper is designed for the radiology resident and practitioner with an interest in the role of nuclear medicine in urologic practice. The importance of functional imaging is emphasized. The techniques, criteria, and findings for the proper diagnosis of difficult genitourinary problems with radionuclide imaging are presented. Individual subject areas include the use of radionuclide renography to monitor renal transplantation, the evolving role of captopril renography in the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension, the use of diuresis renography for the initial diagnosis and management of renal obstruction, and the role of radionuclide cystography in the management of vesicoureteral reflux
