Reproducibility of renal length measurements with 99mTc-DMSA SPECT.
UNLABELLED Renal length measurements are used in evaluating several abnormalities of the pediatric genitourinary tract. This study assesses reproducibility of renal length measurements obtained with 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) SPECT. METHODS The lengths of 98 kidneys of 51 children (age range, 1-16 y; mean age, 5.4 y) who underwent 99mTc-DMSA SPECT were measured independently by 2 ob...
متن کاملValidity of 99mTc-DMSA renal uptake by planar posterior-view method in children.
Renal uptake of 99mTc-DMSA has been quantified by various methods. The aim of this study is to obtain a normal value for 99mTc-DMSA renal uptake calculated by the posterior view method and age variation, and to assess its clinical validity. Scintigrams of 238 children (0-12 years) with 99mTc-DMSA were reviewed. All the children had a clinical history of primary vesicoureteral reflux and/or neur...
متن کاملUnilateral renal agenesis revealed by hydronephrosis of contralateral kidney and explored by 99mTc-DMSA and 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy
Renal scintigraphy is a physio-functional exploration permitting the exploration and assertion of unilateral renal agenesis. We report the case of a patient followed for a right hydronephrosis having revealed an agenesis of the contralateral kidney confirmed by 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy. Also 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy allowed the evaluation of the permeability of the urinary tract of the single rig...
متن کاملPancake kidney: An unusual type of renal fusion anomaly found in 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy
A 2.5-year-old boy with a history of the previous incidental finding of an ectopic kidney in ultrasonography was referred to our nuclear medicine center for 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy. The scan showed an unusual type of ectopic fused kidneys on the right side of the lower abdomen. In this anomaly, kidneys were fused completely across the medial portion of both upper and lower pole...
متن کاملMonitoring 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...
