Background: Assessment of renal lesions and deficiency accurately remains critical in the diagnosis congenital anomalies kidneys urinary tracts (CAKUT) children. Advanced imaging such as Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) Diffusion weighted (DWI) allows structural functional insufficiency to be detected. Currently, radiomics machine learning models are being explored full-automated diagnostic too...

Background Small children with dilated vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) run risk of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) and to acquire renal damage. To protect them, antibiotic prophylaxis and surgery to eliminate VUR have been used. Endoscopic injection of bulking agent at the ureteral orifice has evolved as alternative surgical method but with insufficient scientific support of long term effe...

The authors report and discuss a case of bilateral renal artery stenosis in a hypertensive 9 year-old girl that was first suspected with Technetium-dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy. The scintigraphy showed signs of acute renal failure while the patient was on enalapril for controlling her hypertension. Bilateral renal artery stenosis was confirmed with computed tomography angiography....

DESCRIPTION A 54-year-old patient underwent right radical nephrectomy for what was then diagnosed as a Stage-II (T2bN0M0) renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Four months after surgery, the patient reported of pelvic pain and had a rising serum alkaline-phosphatase level. The tecnetium-99 mmethylene-diphosphate (Tc99m-MDP) bone scan then demonstrated a focus of uptake in the right ischium, corresponding...

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.

We report a patient with DTPA and DMSA uptake on unsuspected bone metastases. He had severe pain due to grade 3 hydronephrosis of his left kidney. When Tc-99m DTPA and DMSA renal scanning were performed for preoperative evaluation, abnormal radiopharmaceutical uptake on the iliac area was noted. Pancreatic adenocarcinoma metastases to bone were subsequently defined. This patient is a very demon...

PURPOSE Here we report the results of a review of a prospectively maintained database of the use polyacrylate polyalcohol copolymer (PPC) injection to correct grades IV and V VUR. MATERIALS AND METHODS All children with grades IV and V primary VUR that presented with febrile urinary tract infection while on prophylaxis, in a 3-year period, were treated with a sub-ureteral injection of PPC. In...
