In the previous study (Im et al., 2022), we revealed microplastic (MP) was accumulated and
cleared through the kidneys via PET imaging. Here, we aimed to identify the renal …

Various radiopharmaceuticals are available for imaging pediatric patients in the acute care
setting. This article focuses on the common applications used on a pediatric patient in acute …

99mTc-labeled dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) imaging is a well-established and
highly sensitive method for the diagnosis of several renal cortical disorders affecting children …

Background Scintigraphy using technetium-99m labelled dimercaptosuccinic acid ([99mTc]
Tc-DMSA), taken up in the proximal tubules, is the standard in functional imaging of the …

Background Scintigraphy with technetium‐99m‐labelled dimercaptosuccinic acid ([99mTc]
Tc‐DMSA) is widely used for renal cortical imaging. Uptake of [99mTc] Tc‐DMSA has been …

Purpose This study aimed to assess the feasibility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)
for the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis (APN) in pediatric patients with febrile urinary tract …

Objective The assessment of cortical integrity following renal injuries with planar Tc-99m
dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy depends on measuring relatively decreased …

Purpose Given the potential risk of motion artifacts, acquisition time reduction is desirable in
pediatric 99mTc‐dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy. The aim of this study was to …

Objectives We enumerate the various laparoscopic strategies to resolve upper urinary tract
(UUT) obstruction in the context of variations in anatomy and report their outcomes. Patients …

Background The best way to assess renal cortical scarring is planar scintigraphy with 99mTc-
dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), while the value of single-photon emission computed …
