چکیده
Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan was performed on a 32-year-old woman with 
 abdominal pain. A normal functioning slightly ptotic right kidney seen planar images. There no activity in the left renal region and small fusiform pelvic area. Pelvic computed tomography (CT) axial images revealed pre-vesical abscess pushing bladder posteriorly to side. On obtained after percutaneous drainage it concluded that area DMSA compatible physiological bladder.

We present a 55-year old male patient who was subjected to whole body skeletal scintigraphy for metastatic work up of urinary bladder cancer. Whole body 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) skeletal scintigraphy was performed. That revealed no skeletal metastasis in the entire body skeleton and normally visualized left kidney with empty right renal fossa. Additionally tracer activity ...

Objective. To determine the effects of percutaneous nephrolithotomy on renal functions by using DMSA scintigraphy while considering access counts. Material and Methods. A total of 37 patients who had undergone percutaneous nephrolithotomy were included. Preoperative DMSA scans were performed a day before the surgery, whereas postoperative scans were randomized by evaluating them before (n = 25)...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of Technetium Tc 99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) renal scintigraphy in the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children with suspected infection but with a negative urine culture. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of all children with suspected or definite diagnosis of UTI presented during a 2-year period were ...
متن کاملMegaureter visualization on Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy.
We present a patient with left-sided obstructed megaureter secondary to neuropathic bladder. He was referred for technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy to evaluate renal cortical function. Images obtained 4 hr after injection showed significant activity in the dilated left ureter. When the ureter is visualized on DMSA scan, obstructive megaureter shoul...
