Tc-99m DTPA renal scintigraphy is an established technique for evaluating renal perfusion and function. A patient is described with clinically unsuspected tricuspid regurgitation detected during the perfusion phase of renal scintigraphy and confirmed by Doppler echocardiography. A review of extrarenal anomalies detected during renal blood flow imaging is presented.
