Renal scintigraphy is performed commonly in dogs and cats and has been used in a variety of other species. In a 2012 survey of the members of the Society of Veterinary Nuclear Medicine, 95% of the respondents indicated they perform renal scintigraphy in their practice. Renal scintigraphy is primarily used to assess renal function and to evaluate postrenal obstruction. This article reviews how renal scintigraphy is used in veterinary medicine and describes the methods of analysis. Species variation is also discussed.

Retroperitoneal teratomas are rare neoplasms in neonates, presenting with nonspecific symptoms and variable clinical features, making diagnosis challenging. Radiological investigations, particularly fetal ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography, play a critical role in their detection. Differential diagnoses include neuroblastoma, adrenal hemorrhage, and congenital cystic lesions, which share overlapping clinical and imaging features.

Article Synopsis
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children are primarily caused by enterobacteria, but Streptococcus pneumoniae is a rare cause that can indicate underlying issues.
- A case study focused on a 2-year-old girl with recurrent UTIs, renal malformations, and a detected UTI caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae demonstrated the importance of thorough imaging studies for such cases.
- The findings highlight that UTIs from this atypical bacterium often correlate with serious renal-urological conditions, emphasizing the necessity for additional urinary tract evaluations in affected patients.
