Lutrin, C L; Goris, M L

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 /sup 99m/Tc-pyrophosphate showed increased activity in the irradiated renal segment. Possible mechanisms of such renal uptake are discussed.
