  • 3-150 Acute lesions—small, moderate, and large were defined by relating the surface of the lesion to the surface of the kidney: <10%, 10% to <30%, and ⩾30% respectively, in the incidence of the scintigraphy where the size of the lesion was more pronounced.

  • 3-151 When patients had several lesions of different sizes, the largest lesion was considered.
