[Importance of radioisotope angiography in the diagnosis of vascular diseases].

Radioisotope angiography demonstrates successfully occlusion of the abdominal aorta, aneurysms of the thoracic and abdominal aorta, and occlusion of the iliac and femoral arteries. In occlusion of the renal artery this method supplements contrast vasography of the kidneys providing a quantitative concept of the functional peculiarities and dynamics of the renal blood flow. The results of radioisotope angiography were in full agreement with the clinical picture of the disease and the findings of contrast X-ray angiography in 81.7% of cases; in 11.3% they coincided partly and only in 7% of cases the results were dissimilar.
