SUMMARY The features of the 133 Xe renal blood flow profile in the normal kidney have been described. It is suggested that the xenogram may be particularly useful in:1 The assessment of renal trauma cases. 2 The evaluation of the non‐functioning kidney. 3 The preoperative definition of renal vein thrombosis in renal carcinoma cases. 4 The quantitation of renal ischaemia. 5 The diagnosis of transplant rejection.The technique is recommended for the evaluation of difficult diagnosis renal problems in the hope that it may shed some light and in the knowledge that it will do no harm.
