Precise Localization of Urine Leak After Renal Transplantation on Radionuclide Renography: Added Value of the Unclamped Drainage Tube and SPECT-CT.

Identifying and localizing the site of post-renal transplantation urine leaks is important for patient management and treatment planning. Renal scintigraphy is a proven modality for confirming urine leaks after complicated post-renal transplantation. Routinely, renogram studies are performed with a clamped extraperitoneal drain.
