Monitoring of renal function using 99mTc-DMSA and 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy in patients with spinal cord injury.
AIM The aim of this study was to assess the degree of alterations of renal function by using 99m-technetium dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) and 99m-technetium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) scintigraphy in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-two consecutive SCI (15 paraplegic and 7 tetraplegic) patients (mean age: 49.1±13.4 years) who had n...
متن کاملEvaluation of 99mTc-DTPA renal scanning for localization and shielding of the kidneys in patients candidate for abdominal radiotherapy
Introduction: Clinical radiation nephropathy can result in considerable morbidity and/or mortality. Renal tolerance (TD5/5) has been stated to be 20 Gy when irradiation has been delivered to both kidneys in 3-5 weeks. Therefore to minimize renal toxicity in these patients, localization and shielding of the kidneys are essential. This study was carried out to evaluate the role of 99mTc-DTP...
متن کاملThe comparison between ultrasonography and 99mTc-DMSA renal scan in estimation of kidney size
Introduction: Renal length measurement is an important diagnostic clue in several urinary tract abnormalities. Although ultra sonography is the most frequent used modality for renal size estimation, renal diameter assessment by 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy is of great value. By now, pointing to the renal size in the 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy report has not been recommended by gui...
متن کامل99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan in patients with established radiological renal scarring.
The findings on 99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scans were examined in 54 patients aged 3 to 33 years in whom renal scarring had been diagnosed radiologically in childhood after urinary tract infection. There was no recent history of infection. Vesicoureteric reflux had been present in 48 patients and had stopped in 23 at the time of the DMSA scan. In six of the 72 radiologically scarred k...
متن کاملParenchymal mean transit time analysis of 99mTc-DTPA captopril renography.
UNLABELLED Proposed renal hemodynamic mechanisms of captopril suggest that quantitation of renographic retention parameters should help identify patients suspected of having renovascular disease. The parenchymal mean transit time (MTT) is theoretically superior to other measures of retention, but data supporting its superiority are few. METHODS Two groups of subjects were studied with diethyl...
