Added value of SPECT/CT for the evaluation of obstructive uropathy

Conclusion: Combination of traditional 99mTcDTPA renal dynamic scintigraphy and renogram with SPECT/CT could provide not only anatomical and functional information of kidneys and ureters in the evaluation of obstructive uropathy and may also show the causes of the disease. Our study indicated that the added value of a simultaneous CT imaging renal scintigraphy and SPECT had a clear added value of confidence in daily clinical practice.
