Abstract
Four patients with suspected perinephric abscess were evaluated by gallium-67 scintigraphy. Gallium-67 scintigraphs proved instrumental in correctly diagnosing and localizing 4 left perinephric abscesses. Roentgenographic examinations were negative in 2 cases. Gallium-67 scintigraphy can be a useful non-invasive technique to evaluate patients with suspected perinephric abscess.Keywords
