Nuclear medicine methods have important role in the evaluation of transplanted kidney. In this study 58 99mTc-DTPA scans were performed in 38 patients. This method has 90% sensitivity and 96% specificity. In the cases of normal transplanted kidneys, function correlation between doppler sonography and scanning was more than dysfunctioning kidneys.
