Demonstration by radionuclide imaging of possible vascular steal from a renal transplant.

Radionuclide studies in a renal-transplant patient with congestive heart failure suggested vascular steal from the renal allograft by a contralateral femoral arteriovenous fistula. These reliable, noninvasive diagnostic procedures have potential use in similar settings to evaluate allograft perfusion and function. Correction by removal of the fistula was demonstrated.

The localization of multiple intra-abdominal abscesses by gallium scanning.

A septic course suggestive of intra-abdominal abscess followed surgery in a small child with a perforated appendix. Usual diagnostic studies, fluoroscopy, and rectal and wound exploration failed to localized an abscess. The use of gallium 67 scanning accurately localized multiple abscesses which were successfully drained.
