Description

Adequate clinical evaluation of patients with difficulty in micturition and vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) remains a challenging subject in investigative medicine. Direct radionuclide cystography and urineflowmetry (DRCG-UFMT) by the suprapubic puncture technique is an excellent radionuclide procedure, which avoids emptying and refilling of the urinary bladder. This communication is an analysis of DRCG-UFMT studies conducted in children suffering from kidney and urinary tract pathology. (author). 19 refs., 5 figs
