Application of 99mTc-DTPA Radiotracer in Persian Cat’s Renal Scintigraphy
Purpose: To evaluate the suitability of Tc-DTPA as a radiotracer in Persian cat's renal scintigraphy. Methods: twelve adult healthy Persian cats were selected. For scintigraphy, the animals were anesthetized and TC-DTPA was injected via the femoral vein as a bolus at a dose of 1.5 mCi. Immediately after intravenous injection of radiotracer, scintigraphic operation was conducted on the renal org...
متن کاملTc-99m DTPA dynamic renal scintigraphy in the evaluation of renal transplants: the importance of perfusion index in the diagnosis of renal allograft rejection.
Sixty patients with transplanted kidneys underwent dynamic renal scintigraphy using Technetium99m DTPA. The Perfusion Index, in particular was found to be valuable in differentiating between the two major renal transplant complications of acute tubular necrosis and acute rejection. In addition, other complications like outflow obstruction, pararenal fluid collections, leakage, etc., were readil...
متن کاملVesicoureteral Reflux Detected with 99mTc-DTPA Renal Scintigraphy during Evaluation of Renal Function
BACKGROUND Radionuclide techniques, as direct radionuclide cystography and (99m)Tc-DMSA scintigraphy, have been used in evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and reflux nephropathy (RN) in children. Dynamic (99m)Tc-DTPA scintigraphy is reserved for evaluation of differential renal function and obstruction in children, where hydronephrosis is detected by ultrasonography (US) pre- or postnata...
متن کاملPancake kidney: An unusual type of renal fusion anomaly found in 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy
A 2.5-year-old boy with a history of the previous incidental finding of an ectopic kidney in ultrasonography was referred to our nuclear medicine center for 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy. The scan showed an unusual type of ectopic fused kidneys on the right side of the lower abdomen. In this anomaly, kidneys were fused completely across the medial portion of both upper and lower pole...
