Evaluation of 99mTc-DTPA renal scanning for localization and shielding of the kidneys in patients candidate for abdominal radiotherapy
Introduction: Clinical radiation nephropathy can result in considerable morbidity and/or mortality. Renal tolerance (TD5/5) has been stated to be 20 Gy when irradiation has been delivered to both kidneys in 3-5 weeks. Therefore to minimize renal toxicity in these patients, localization and shielding of the kidneys are essential. This study was carried out to evaluate the role of 99mTc-DTP...
متن کاملVesicoureteral Reflux Detected with 99mTc-DTPA Renal Scintigraphy during Evaluation of Renal Function
BACKGROUND Radionuclide techniques, as direct radionuclide cystography and (99m)Tc-DMSA scintigraphy, have been used in evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and reflux nephropathy (RN) in children. Dynamic (99m)Tc-DTPA scintigraphy is reserved for evaluation of differential renal function and obstruction in children, where hydronephrosis is detected by ultrasonography (US) pre- or postnata...
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...
متن کاملEvaluation of 58 cases of 99mTc-DTPA renal transplantation scans [Persian]
Nuclear medicine methods have important role in the evaluation of transplanted kidney. In this study 58 99mTc-DTPA scans were performed in 38 patients. This method has 90% sensitivity and 96% specificity. In the cases of normal transplanted kidneys, function correlation between doppler sonography and scanning was more than dysfunctioning kidneys.
