EC Renogram

EC Renogram

5000+ scans done & counting

EC Renogram, also known as EC Renal Scan or Renal Scintigraphy, is a medical imaging procedure that evaluates the function and anatomy of the kidneys. It’s used to examine how well the kidneys are working and whether there is any obstruction to the urine flow.The kidneys are vital organs that play a crucial role in filtering waste products from the blood and regulating blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and red blood cell production. The EC Renogram is particularly useful because it provides essential data on both the structure and function of the kidneys, which is not always available from other imaging methods.
