abstract
urinary tract infection (uti) is a common disease in childhood specially in female. in this study 50 patients with stablished diagnosis of uti were evaluated by both renal scan with tc-99m dmsa and renal sonography. the study revealed that most urinary tract infections are in children, female sex between 5-9 years of age. therefore the most important complications (renal scarring) are also common in this age-sex distribution. occurance of renal scars increase with increasing the number of recurrent infections. vesicoureteral reflux is one of the most improtant, common risk factors for renal scarring. renal tc-99m dmsa scan is more sensitive than renal sonography in detecting the renal scars.

ABSTRACT COVID-19 mainly affects respiratory and immune systems, but other organs like renal, cardiovascular, lung and nervous systems could also be involved in both acute and chronic settings (1, 2). There is a lot of studies that demonstrate an increasing number of long COVID-19 who continue to experience persistent symptoms weeks or even months after the initial disease. Reports suggest...

Tc-99m-EC is a new renal radiopharmaceutical introduced as an alternative for Tc-99m MAG3. Twenty-three normal volunteers and patients in different .stages of renal disease were evaluated with Te-99m EC and Tc-99m DTPA. The mean initial uptake of EC was significantly higher as compared to DTPA. There was a high correlation between rectangular and hand-drawn ROls for kidney and background,...
full textThe comparison between ultrasonography and 99mTc-DMSA renal scan in estimation of kidney size
Introduction: Renal length measurement is an important diagnostic clue in several urinary tract abnormalities. Although ultra sonography is the most frequent used modality for renal size estimation, renal diameter assessment by 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy is of great value. By now, pointing to the renal size in the 99mTc-DMSA scintigraphy report has not been recommended by gui...

Abdominal wall hernias are the most common situations requiring major surgeries. In this study, we report a large incisional hernia, as an incidental finding, in a Tc-DTPA scan of a renal transplant recepient. Increased flow of activity in dynamic phase and relatively increased and nonuniform tracer accumulation in static phase of the study were observed.

Four patients with sonographic suggestion of hepatic hemangioma are studied with Tc99m-labeled RBC scan. The scan findings are compaired with other imaging modalities. Lesions as small as 36 mm could be detected by this method. Tc99m labeled RBC scan is a valuable tool to differentiate hepatic hemangioma from other space occupying lesion of the liver.
