چکیده

OBJECTIVE This study aims to determine if normal absolute uptake values of dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) can be predicted accurately over the optimal time for imaging. METHODS Eighty-eight normal kidneys were analyzed from 44 children with a median age of 4 y. The mean time between injection and scan was 171.7 min. The absolute uptake of DMSA in milligrams was calculated for each kidney. RESULTS A strong positive linear relationship was found between the absolute uptake of DMSA and the amount of DMSA injected in milligrams (corr = 0.940 [P< 0.0005]), and the age of the child (corr = 0.770 (P<0.0005)). Multiple linear regression showed that these 2 factors accounted for 92.2% of the change in absolute DMSA uptake. CONCLUSION The absolute uptake of DMSA can be accurately predicted using a linear regression equation incorporating the amount of DMSA injected in milligrams and the patient's age. Time between injection and scan appears to play little role in the absolute uptake of DMSA over 2-4 h.

Validity 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...

Estimation of absolute renal uptake with technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid: direct comparison with the radioactivity of nephrectomy specimens.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Studies using radionuclides are the most appropriate method for estimating renal function. Dimercaptosuccinic acid chelate labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc-DMSA) is the radiopharmaceutical of choice for high-resolution imaging of the renal cortex and estimation of the functional renal mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate a simplified method for determining the abs...
