Technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan was performed on a 32-year-old woman with 
 abdominal pain. A normal functioning slightly ptotic right kidney seen planar images. There no activity in the left renal region and small fusiform pelvic area. Pelvic computed tomography (CT) axial images revealed pre-vesical abscess pushing bladder posteriorly to side. On obtained after percuta...

BACKGROUND Hydronephrosis is the one of the most common congenital abnormalities of urinary tract. The left kidney is more commonly affected than the right side and is more common in males. AIM OF THE STUDY To determine the role of ultrasonography, renal dynamic scintigraphy and lowerdose computed tomography urography in preoperative diagnostic workup of infant with extreme hydronephrosis. ...

A 71-year-old man with newly diagnosed hypertension was referred for Technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (Tc-99m MAG3) renal scintigraphy to evaluate the recent onset of impairment in renal functions. Dynamic imaging revealed activity flow which was suspicious for aortic aneurysm (AA) with a concurrent decrease in left renal blood flow. CT angiography of the thoracoabdominal aorta confirmed...

PURPOSE We performed this study to detect preoperative axillary metastases with ultrasound (US)-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), to eliminate the need for time-consuming and costly sentinel lymph node (SLN) scintigraphy and biopsy steps in the treatment of breast cancer patients, and in that of with suspicious US findings, and to evaluate the accuracy of preoperative US-guided FNAB ...

BACKGROUND Renal scintigraphy may allow long-term monitoring of ischemic damage after partial nephrectomy (PN). OBJECTIVE Evaluate use of renal scintigraphy for evaluating long-term effects of warm ischemia on renal function in patients with a normal contralateral kidney. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We prospectively examined kidney function of 54 patients who underwent laparoscopic PN...

INTRODUCTION This study focused on the value of quantitatively analyzed and qualitatively graded renal scintigraphy in relation to the expected duration of delayed graft function after kidney transplantation. A more reliable prediction of delayed graft function duration may result in a more tailored and patient-specific treatment regimen post-transplantation. METHODS From 2000 to 2014, patien...

A 3 years old boy with a history of surgery for orchidopexy was admitted to our hospital with fever and abdominal pain. Clinical examination and laboratory investigations revealed urinary tract infection with renal involvement. Ultrasonography demonstrated a solitary left kidney and raised the suspicion of a fusion anomaly. Voiding cystography disclosed grade III vesicoureteral reflux and tec...

the correlation of vesicoureteral reflux (vur), urinary tract infection (uti) and renal scarring is well known. several risk factors for renal parenchymal lesions have been reported previously. we determine the incidence of renal parenchymal damage and outcome in the siblings of children with primary vur. a total of 96 siblings of patients with vur, were evaluated with direct voiding cystograph...
