Nuclear medicine is defined as the use of radionuclides for diagnostic and therapeutic
applications. The imaging modalities positron emission tomography (PET) and single …

A questionnaire related to cortical scintigraphy in children with urinary tract infection was
submitted to 30 experts. A wide consensus was reached on several issues related to planar …

This report provides a compendium of current information relating to radiation dose to
patients, including biokinetic models, biokinetic data, dose coefficients for organ and tissue …

Abstract Technetium-99m (99m Tc) is a radiometal that has nearly ideal nuclear properties
for diagnostic nuclear medicine imaging, which has helped make it high impact and …

DMSA is an excellent static imaging agent. Approximately 50% of the injected dose remains
bound to the cortical tubules of the kidney up to 24 hr after injection. During this time, 30% of …

The finding of an enhanced excretion of [99mTc] dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) in patients
with tubular reabsorption disorders prompted us to investigate the role of filtration in the …

Noninvasive radionuclide procedures in the evaluation of renal disease have been
accepted increasingly as effective and valuable alternatives to older clinical methods. The …

Abstract 99m Tc dimercaptosuccinic acid is a new renal scanning agent that provides a
good quality of renal image as a result of preferential cortical accumulation and also makes …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Our model involved 14 mongrel dogs, divided into two
categories: five control animals and nine with unilateral renal disease. The latter were sub …

Pyelonephritis is an infection of the kidneys that is seen more commonly in children than the
adults. 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) scanning is a radionuclide imaging …
