Pyrophosphate retention by previously irradiated renal tissue

C L Lutrin et al. Radiology. 1979 Oct.

Abstract

In 3 patients, each of whom had previously had part of one kidney included within the field during radiation therapy, whole-body bone imaging using 99mTc-pyrophosphate showed increased activity in the irradiated renal segment. Possible mechanisms of such renal uptake are discussed.
