What does it consist of?

Scintigraphy is a nuclear medicine technique that consists of injecting small doses of radioactive material (tracer) to measure the functioning of different organs and systems.   The tracer, which releases gamma rays, travels through the blood and is absorbed by the organs.

 

Subsequently, a camera with gamma radiation detectors makes it possible to obtain images of the highlighted areas.

 

This test can help determine if the kidneys are healthy and working properly. In addition, it can provide useful information in the case of assessing the need for a kidney transplant.
