Radioscintigraphic demonstration of unsuspected urine extravasation

Clin Nucl Med. 1989 Jun;14(6):421-7. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198906000-00005.

Abstract

Three cases of unsuspected urine extravasation first detected by radionuclide scintigraphy are presented with subsequent confirmation by CT and, retrograde pyelograms. A renal study done to rule out acute transplant rejection demonstrates gallbladder uptake which was initially thought to be consistent with urine extravasation.
