Objective. Evaluation of the possibility of analyzing the structural and functional state of the kidneys and urinary tract according to the results of PET/CT whole body scanning of patients with skin melanoma and prostate cancer without signs of metastasis and the presence of neuro-urological anamnesis.
Material and methods. A retrospective analysis of 100 PET/CT findings of patients in these groups was carried out. In 50 cases, the scanning was conducted with the choline C 11, and in 50 cases – with the fludeoxyglucose F 18. PET/CT was performed by the standard method on a PET/CT scanner (Siemens Biograph, Germany) to assess the possible prevalence of the disease.
Results. The obtained data allowed to conclude that PET/CT imaging of functionally consistent kidneys and urinary tract is possible and rather highly informative. Mathematical calculation of the intensity of radiopharmaceutical agent incorporation into the renal cortex, renal medulla, as well as the renal pelvis, makes it possible to evaluate the functional state of the renal parenchyma in the process of urine formation and urinary tract in the process of urine transport, and also to perform it separately for each organ.
Conclusion. Structural and functional changes in the parenchyma of the kidneys and the upper urinary tract during the formation and transportation of urine can be visually and mathematically analyzed using the combined PET/CT method.
