Abstract
Conventional radionuclide techniques have, for many years, played a role in evaluating vesico-ureteral reflux and suspected testicular torsion. More recently, the advent of prostate immunoscintigraphy, positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/computed tomography (CT) has broadened nuclear medicine's role to the area of oncologic diagnosis, as well. This chapter will first discuss the older standard techniques and follow with the oncologic applications in both the male and female genitourinary tract
