Comparison of "direct" and "indirect" radionuclide cystography.
Thirty children were studied using both direct (catheter) and indirect techniques of radionuclide cystography. Of 54 ureters able to be compared, six showed vesico-ureteric reflux (VUR) on the direct study but were read as negative on the indirect cystogram, and five showed no reflux on the direct cystogram but were read as positive for VUR on the indirect study. (Sensitivity of 68% and specifi...
متن کاملSociety of Nuclear Medicine Procedure Guideline for Radionuclide Cystography in Children
Urinary tract infection is a common problem in the pediatric population. The signs and symptoms are nonspecific, particularly in the younger child. The role of vesicoureteral reflux in the pathogenesis of pyelonephritis is incompletely understood. Approximately 40% of patients with upper urinary tract infection have vesicoureteral reflux. Urinary tract infection, unrecognized and inadequately t...
متن کاملShort reports Radionuclide cystography in vesicoureteric reflux
The optimal investigation of children with urinary tract infections is controversial and is periodically reviewed.' 2 The dilemma, to ensure adequate investigation while avoiding undue trauma or radiation exposure, is familiar to paediatricians and radiologists. The most unpleasant investigation used is undoubtedly the radiological micturating cystogram, which requires urethral catheterisation....
متن کاملRadionuclide studies in paediatric nephro-urology.
The main tool of radionuclide techniques applied to paediatric uro-nephrology is the quantitation of function, which is an information not easily obtained by other diagnostic modalities. The radiation burden is low. Drug sedation is only rarely needed, whatever the age of the patient. Accurate determination of glomerular filtration rate can be obtained by means of an intravenous injection of Cr...
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...
