Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The renal nuclear scan is a test that uses a radioactive tracer injected into a vein to evaluate the blood flow, structure, and function of the kidneys. It is also known as renal scintigraphy or renal imaging. The other options such as intravenous pyelography and computed tomography scan of the kidneys are imaging tests but do not involve the use of a radioactive tracer. Renography is another name for a renal nuclear scan. Electromyography is a test that evaluates the electrical signals of muscles and nerves and is not related to kidney function or blood flow.
