Hepatobiliary excretion of 99mTc-EC: A potential source of mistake in the interpretation of renal scintigraphy
A 10-year-old boy with a history of bloody discoloration of urine following recent appendectomy was referred to our department for urinary leakage/fistula evaluation. A renal Technetium-99m-L,L-ethylenedicysteine (99mTc-EC) scintigraphy was performed. After injection of radiotracer, a focus of activity appeared in the supralateral part of the right kidney which was confirmed as accum...
متن کاملInterobserver Variability in Interpretation of Planar and SPECT Tc-99m-DMSA Renal Scintigraphy in Children
OBJECTIVE This study objective was to evaluate interobserver agreement between individual pairs of three nuclear medicine physicians in interpretation of renal cortical scintigraphy in children with respect to the mode of acquisition (planar vs. SPECT), diagnoses and kidney site (left vs. right). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty children were imaged in planar and SPECT mode per protocol upon the ...
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...
متن کاملWandering kidney in dual-kidney transplant recipient presents a pitfall in the interpretation of renal scintigraphy.
A 26-y-old patient with end-stage renal disease and recent dual transplantation of cadaveric kidneys en bloc presented with increasing abdominal pain and a rising level of serum creatinine. An anterior-view (99m)Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine renogram demonstrated the typical overlap of the lower pole of the superior kidney and the upper pole of the inferior kidney. The renogram was consistent wit...
متن کاملAssessment of the maximum uptake time of 99mTc-DMSA in renal scintigraphy in rat
Introduction:The optimal imaging time of a radionuclide scintigraphy is the time at which the organ of interest has the maximum uptake of the injected radionuclide. This study was performed to investigate the maximum uptake time of 99mTc-DMSA in rat renal scan. Methods: Renal scintigraphy was performed with 3 mCi of 99mTc-DMSA. Planar ima...
