99mTC dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan in urinary tract infection.

Realization of an Economical 13 Fused-Taper-Twisted Polymer Optical Fiber Splitters for Small World Communication

Optical Fiber made by plastic or polymer, can be and is being used in various fields of application. Two of the main fields are the automotive and the home networking. polymer optical fiber (POF) here can be seen as one of the best solutions for small world communication, especially in home networking application. In this paper, optical 13 fused-taper-twisted POF splitters has been fabricated ...

Comparison of DMSA scan 99 m and EC scan 99 m in diagnosis of cortical defect and differential renal function.

INTRODUCTION Diagnosis of renal cortical lesions by radioisotopes in nuclear medicine is one of the most common techniques and procedures can be performed by different radiotracer. However, all these materials are accurate in determining kidney function, but there are differences between them in the field. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of EC scans compared with DMS...

Comparison of diagnosis of VUR nephropathy by urinary level of ceruloplasmin with DMSA-Scan in children

Background: Children with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) are at risk of recurrent pyelonephritis, kidney scars, hypertension, and renal failure. Currently, VUR complications can be diagnosed by different imaging methods such as sonography, intravenous pyelography and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan, having certain limitations. Urinary level of ceruloplasmin (Cp) might be an effective non-radio...

The 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...
