Evaluation of 58 cases of 99mTc-DTPA renal transplantation scans [Persian]
author
Abstract:
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.

full textApplication of 99mTc-DTPA Radiotracer in Persian Cat’s Renal Scintigraphy
Purpose: To evaluate the suitability of Tc-DTPA as a radiotracer in Persian cat's renal scintigraphy. Methods: twelve adult healthy Persian cats were selected. For scintigraphy, the animals were anesthetized and TC-DTPA was injected via the femoral vein as a bolus at a dose of 1.5 mCi. Immediately after intravenous injection of radiotracer, scintigraphic operation was conducted on the renal org...

Introduction: Renal dynamic study is a well-established and popular test in routine practice of nuclear medicine. The test is non-invasive, rapid and unique in evaluation of the kidney function. In despite of its clinical values, the parameters derived from renogram are physiologically meaningless. That is due to the fact that renogram is not the true kidney function. From mathematical po...
full textVesicoureteral 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...
full textEvaluation 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...
full textAssessment of individual renal function in children using 99mTc-DTPA.
Differential renal function assessment using 99mTc-DTPA was carried out in 12 children aged between 3 weeks and 11 years who had undergone surgical procedures which allowed separate access to the urine output from each kidney. The results correlated well with those obtained by measuring individual kidney creatinine clearances. The best result was obtained using the technique of deconvolution an...
