Abstract

The diagnostic contribution of double-radiocompound renography was tested by applying discriminant analysis to the data obtained in one group of normal subjects and in some groups of selected pathological cases which included glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, and hypertension. The results obtained confirm the reliability of the test and give evidence of its usefulness in diagnostic clinical work.
