Refluks vesiko-ureter (RVU) adalah suatu keadaan berbaliknya urin dari kandung kemih kembali ke ureter dan secara potensial ke parenkim ginjal. RVU timbul dalam lima stadia menurut The International Reflux Study, masih terdapat perbedaan paham mengenai penanganan RVU berat (stadium IV dan V). Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk menilai laju filtrasi glomerulis (LFG) dengan pemeriksaan radionuklir DTPA pada anak dengan RVU pada berbagai stadia. Selama periods satu tahun (Agust.93-Agust.94) diteliti 21 anak dengan berbagai stadia RVU. Terdapat 14 anak laki-laki dan 7 perempuan dengan umur berkisar antara 2 jam sampai 15 tahun dan lama menderita RVU berkisar antara 5 hari sampai 8 tahun. Beberapa kesimpulan sementara dapat disebut disini ialah :
1. Penderita ISK simtomatis atau asimtomatis pada kasus RVU ditemukan 52.4%.
2. Kreatinin serum dan klirens kreatinin merupakan parameter yang baik untuk menilai fungsi ginjal yang abnormal pada RVU.
3. Terdapat hubungan bermakna antara berat RVU pada tiap ginjal dengan menurunnya LFG. ...... Visicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a condition in which urine regurgitates from the bladder back into the ureter and potentially to the renal parenchyma. VUR occurs in five degrees of severity according to the International Reflux Study. There remain some controversy concerning the management of severe VUR (stage IV and V). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using the radionuclide DTPA examination in children with VUR of different stages. During a one year period (Aug.93 - Aug.94) 21 children with varying degrees of VUR were studied. Fourteen boys and 7 girls were encountered. The ages range from 2 hours till 15 years and the duration of the VUR were from 5 days up till 8 years. Some preliminary conclusions could be taken from this study:
1. Patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic UTI reveal the presence of VUR in 52.4% of cases.
2. Serum creatinine and creatinine clearance are good parameters to evaluate the abnormal renal function in VUR,
3. There was a significant correlation between the degree of the VUR of each kidney and the degree of GFR reduction.

Scrotal pathology is a comprehensive practical guide to the management of patients who present with scrotal disorders. Introductory chapters consider imaging instrumentation, clinical evaluation, and clinical and imaging anatomy. The full range of disorders is then discussed in individual chapters organized according to clinical presentation. All clinical and imaging aspects are covered in depth, with full description of symptoms and explanation of the value of different clinical tests and imaging modalities. In addition, underlying histopathological features are presented and correlated with imaging features in order to clarify their pathological basis. For each disorder, therapeutic strategies are discussed and appraised. Adults and children are considered separately whenever necessary, bearing in mind that they often present essentially different scrotal pathology. The many images are all of high quality and were obtained using high-end equipment.

The horizons of sophisticated imaging have expanded with the use of combined positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT). PET-CT has revolutionized medical imaging by adding anatomic localization to functional imaging, thus providing physicians with information that is vital for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of pathologies. Since the integration of PET and CT several years ago, PET/CT procedures are now routine at leading medical centers throughout the world. This has increased the importance of nuclear medicine physicians acquiring a broad knowledge in sectional anatomy for image interpretation. The Atlas of Sectional Radiological Anatomy for PET/CT is a user-friendly guide presenting high-resolution, full-color images of anatomical detail and focuses solely on normal FDG distribution throughout the head & neck, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, the primary sites for cancer detection and treatment through PET/CT.
