Noninvasive Radioisotopic Technique

At 8 and 32 hours after saphenous vein bypass graft surgery in six dogs, in vivo images of the graft were obtained with a gamma camera after intravenous injection, 2 hours postoperatively, of autologous platelets labeled with indium-111. Platelet deposition in the grafts could be imaged in vivo from the scintiphotos. In vitro images of the excised heart showed saphenous vein graft uptake confir...

Evaluation of neonatal hydronephrosis with diuretic renography

  The common use of maternal ultrasonography has increased the apparent incidence of neonatal hydronephrosis. Many of these cases are found to have partial obstruction at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). These patients are safely managed in our institution with careful observation and only occasionally require surgical intervention. The authors present two contrastin...
