An incidental detection of aortic aneurysm on Tc-99m MAG3 renal scintigraphy.
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...
متن کاملAdditional Value of SPECT/CT to Tc-99m MAG3 Renal Scintigraphy in the Diagnosis of a Patient with Ureteroileal Fistula
UNLABELLED We performed Tc-99m MAG3 dynamic renal scintigraphy followed by a SPECT/CT imaging to a 38-yr-old woman who had a fistula in the lower urinary tract after a gynecological operation for diagnostic purposes. After scintigraphy, CT and fusion images were evaluated, it was observed that the activity in the right lower quadrant was actually in the ileal lumen. When early and late SPECT/CT...
متن کاملMegaureter visualization on Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy.
We present a patient with left-sided obstructed megaureter secondary to neuropathic bladder. He was referred for technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy to evaluate renal cortical function. Images obtained 4 hr after injection showed significant activity in the dilated left ureter. When the ureter is visualized on DMSA scan, obstructive megaureter shoul...
متن کاملSuperiority of tc-99m MAG3 to tc-99m DTPA in treating a patient with mild renal artery stenosis.
A 22-year-old female patient with severe hypertension underwent both Technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetate and Technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine basal and captopril renal scintigraphy. While no significant change was seen with Tc-99m DTPA, there was left sided parenchymal retention of captopril Tc-99m MAG3 suggesting renal artery stenosis which was confirmed by angiography.
متن کاملIncidental finding of an incisional hernia In the 99m Tc-DTPA renal scan of a transplant recepient [Persian]
Abdominal wall hernias are the most common situations requiring major surgeries. In this study, we report a large incisional hernia, as an incidental finding, in a Tc-DTPA scan of a renal transplant recepient. Increased flow of activity in dynamic phase and relatively increased and nonuniform tracer accumulation in static phase of the study were observed.
