Abstract

Gamma-camera scintigraphy studies in five patients with graft ureter obstruction are presented. The isotope used was131I-hippuranR. The diagnosis was suspected when an accumulation of activity in the pelvic region was seen, and it was in all five patients confirmed at surgery or intravenous urography.
