With the availability of /sup 99m/Tc labeled polyphosphate, diphosphonate, and pyrophosphate, bone scanning has become a frequent and routine procedure in most nuclear medicine laboratories. These agents are primarily excreted by the kidneys, and several recent reports have stressed the reliability of the incidental renal images obtained during bone scanning. We have found these incidental renal images to be diagnostically quite helpful. Examples of renal abnormalities demonstrated by incidental images during bone scanning are shown, along with the corresponding intravenous urogram (IVU).
