N2 - Renal scintigraphy is a centerpiece of nuclear medicine and is also commonly applied for (peri-)acute care. In this regard, referrals by the treating physician include: I.) acute obstructions caused by gradual and infiltrative tumor growth or renal off-target effects under anti-tumor treatment, II.) functional issues in infants, for example, structural abnormalities such as duplex kidneys or uroliths in adults, which can also trigger III.) Infections of renal parenchyma. Renal radionuclide imaging is also requested due to IV.) acute trauma to the abdomen, for example, to assess renal scarring or upon further follow-up after reconstructive surgery. We will discuss clinical applications of (peri-)acute renal scintigraphy, along with future prospects on the use of more advanced nuclear imaging techniques such as renal positron emission tomography.
