Comparison of IVP-simulator and 99mTc-DMSA renal scaning for renal localization and shielding in candidates for radiation therapy [Persian]
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
To minimize renal radiation in abdomical radiotherapy, shielding of the kidneys is essential. IVP-simulator is used as an standard method. In this study, we used 99mTc-DMSA to localize and shield the Kidneys and we compared this method with IVP-simulator. The size of the kidneys was proven to be larger as compared with IVP method. The mean of the overlap percentage was 81.88 in right and 82.89 in left kidney. The confidence interval between two methods ranged from 20 to 80 percent. It is concluded that this is a useful method and can be recommended for localization and shielding of the kidneys in patients with abdominal radiotherapy.

متن کاملEvaluation 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 کاملThe 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...

متن کاملPancake kidney: An unusual type of renal fusion anomaly found in 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy
A 2.5-year-old boy with a history of the previous incidental finding of an ectopic kidney in ultrasonography was referred to our nuclear medicine center for 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy. The scan showed an unusual type of ectopic fused kidneys on the right side of the lower abdomen. In this anomaly, kidneys were fused completely across the medial portion of both upper and lower pole...
