Direct radionuclide cystography in 100 patients has been shown to be a useful investigation in the diagnosis and management of reflux and a valuable complement to radiographic methods; it may well have a place in the detection of reflux in the infected patient. The advantages include low radiation exposure, an accurate measurement of residual urine volumes, simplicity of technique and the use of materials and equipment that have in recent years become increasingly available for routing investigation.
