T HE DECISION to devote this issue to Renal Nuclear Medicine was largely stimulated by a planning committee meeting of the Radionuclides in Nephrourology group in London a little more than a year ago. At that meeting, a progress report was delivered on the consensus reports that would be presented at the Radionuclides in Nephrourology Meeting to be held in Copenhagen in May of 1998. Three reports were being prepared, one covering quality control of quantitative measurements of renal function, another on cortical scintigraphy in children with urinary tract infections, and a third on renal transplantation | Seminars in Nuclear Medicine VOL XXIX NO 2 APRIL 1999 Letter From the Editors The decision to devote this issue to Renal Nuclear Medicine was largely stimulated by a planning committee meeting of the Radionuclides in Nephrourology group in London a little more than a year ago. At that meeting a progress report was delivered on the consensus reports that would be presented at the Radionuclides in Nephrourol-ogy Meeting to be held in Copenhagen in May of 1998. Three reports were being prepared one covering quality control of quantitative measurements of renal function another on cortical scintigraphy in children with urinary ưact infections and a third on renal transplantation. These very important consensus reports were to follow those published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine in 1996 that dealt with captopril renography obstructive uropathy and methods for measuring renal clearance. The need was expressed for a rapid and broad dissemination of these reports so that they could be available on a timely basis. The editors and the planning committee decided that this issue would be an appropriate vehicle to achieve this and therefore it contains these three new consensus reports. Having read them we strongly believe that this was a wise decision and that this material will be of great help to our readership. Certainly problems in quantitating renal function using camera methodology are numerous and the review of this subject is very thorough and provides great guidance. The use of radionuclides to evaluate renal infection is greatly underused and if nothing else we hope that the consensus report here will make you aware of the great potential for this most valuable technique. Finally although the use of radionuclides in renal transplantation may be somewhat more limited there is considerable confusion regarding the methodology and interpretation of kidney imaging studies in this field. The review groups extensive analysis of the available data should help anyone .
