Renal scintigraphy: Difference between revisions

Created page with "'''Renal scintigraphy''', alo called '''nuclear renal scan''', refers to using nuclear imaging to image the kidney and its function. == Static renal scintigraphy == Static renal scintigraphy is used to accurately visualise the renal morphology and to measure loss of renal cortex. One can measure relative ratio of renal function between the two kidneys. The radiopharmaceutical 99mTc-DMSA is used, which accumulates in the renal parenchyme but is not excreted. Imaging is..."
