Chlormerodrin-197Hg brain scanning: selecting the optimal interval between isotope administration and scanning.

Ethylene dicysteine renal scintigraphy

A 35-year-old Asian male presented with complaints of fever, right-sided pleuritic chest pain and shortness of breath of 7 days’ duration, 1 month after a right percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) by supracostal puncture. On examination, the patient was pale and tachypnaeic with pulse 120/min and blood pressure 150/100mm Hg. He had stony dullness with decreased breath sounds in the right mammar...

Renal scintigraphy in infants with antenatally diagnosed renal pelvis dilatation.

BACKGROUND/AIM Ureteropelvic junction obstruction and vesicoureteral reflux are the most frequent entities identified on the basis of antenatal hydronephrosis. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence and pattern of abnormal renal scintigraphy findings in postnatal investigation of children with antenatal hydronephrosis. METHODS Twenty-four infants (19 boys and five girls) present...

Doppler ultrasonography in children with acute pyelonephritis in diagnosis of renal scar compared to DMSA scintigraphy

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most important pediatric health problems, which is occasionally associated with irreversible renal damage. Dimercapto-succinic acid (DMSA) scan is a diagnostic standard for the renal scar. Doppler ultrasonography (D.S) has been considered as a less invasive method. The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity ...

Pancake 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...
