Megaureter 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...

Tc-99m Dimercaptosuccinic Acid (DMSA) Renal Scintigraphy in Patients with Acute Pyelonephritis

OBJECTIVES Recently, several authors reported that Tc-99m DMSA renal scan frequently showed cortical defects of the involved kidneys even in the patients with acute pyelonephritis who did not show abnormal findings in the ultrasonography and intravenous pyelography (IVP). METHODS In order to evaluate the utilities of Tc-99m DMSA renal scan and the clinical meaning of cortical defects in the T...

use of 99m Tc-DMSA scintigraphy in assessment of renal complications of COVID-19

 ABSTRACT COVID-19 mainly affects respiratory and immune systems, but other organs like renal, cardiovascular, lung and nervous systems could also be involved in both acute and chronic settings (1, 2). There is a lot of studies that demonstrate an increasing number of long COVID-19 who continue to experience persistent symptoms weeks or even months after the initial disease. Reports suggest...

Tc-99m pentavalent DMSA scintigraphy in myelofibrosis detection.

In a 62-year-old man with medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, a postoperative Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid [(V) DMSA] study was requested. In the Tc-99m (V) DMSA scan. no abnormalities, indicating local recurrence or metastatic disease, were observed. However, there was increased uptake in the spleen and liver and significantly diffusely increased uptake in the bone marrow. The patient also h...

Inter- and intraobserver variability of (99m)Tc-DMSA renal scintigraphy: impact of oblique views.

UNLABELLED (99m)Tc-Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy is a frequently used diagnostic test to assess the presence and severity of cortical damage. The aim of this study is to investigate the variability in the interpretation of (99m)Tc-DMSA scans, evaluate the usefulness of oblique images, and assess their impact on scan interpretation. METHODS Two experienced nuclear medicine physic...
