Ureteric peristalsis is a key point for urinary progression. Its preoperative evaluation is important to assess indications for surgery. The study of the distal ureter is possible by means of ultrasound. Renal scintigraphy allows for a complete study of urinary progression along the ureter. A combined ultrasound and 99mTc-MAG3 preoperative work-up, has been performed in 32 urinary tracts (16 children ranging in age between 45 days and 11 years). Urinary progression occurs whenever peristaltic contraction makes the ureter lumen unpatent.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
