A total of 106 children with symptomatic urinary tract infection (73 girls and 33 boys, 0-15.9 years of age) were studied by means of a dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan, renal ultrasound, and a desmopressin test during infection and at follow up approximately two months later. At follow up they were also investigated by means of intravenous urography (IVU) and micturition cystourethrography ...

The relationship between differential renal uptake of Tc-99m 2-3 dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) and differential renal function was examined in normal and abnormal dogs by correlating Tc-99m DMSA localization with relative renal blood flow and creatining clearance. There was close correlation of fractional Tc-99m DMSA localization with relative renal function.

The intrathoracic kidney is one of the rare causes congenital ectopic kidney. present study discusses a case referred to our clinic with pre-diagnosis renal agenesis and diagnosis 9-year-old patient who applied complaining abdominal pain. left could not be shown in ultrasonography for patient's In Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy performed on this, was detected far above its n...

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...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) can cause significant renal scarring, which can be complicated by hypertension and renal impairment. This study describes the outcome of different imaging modalities in children with UTI and its relation to age, sex and type of UTI. Our objective was to describe the frequencies of different imaging studies, which were used to investigate children with UTI at King ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clarify the value of renal drainage half-time in the evaluation of pediatric hydronephrosis after dismembered pyeloplasty. METHODS We reviewed the records of 30 children who underwent dismembered pyeloplasty for unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction with no other associated urological abnormality. The follow-up duration was more than 5 years...
