[¹⁸ F]PSMA-1007 renal uptake parameters: Reproducibility and relationship to estimated glomerular filtration rate. [PDF]

Clin Physiol Funct Imaging, 2023
Abstract 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 shown to correlate with glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiopharmaceuticals used for positron emission tomography (PET) show high

Frequency of superscan on bone scintigraphy: A systematic review

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 297-304, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction Bone scintigraphy (BS) is an important tool for detecting bone metastasis. BS with diffuse increased skeletal radioisotope uptake with absent or faint urinary tract and soft tissue activity is defined as a superscan. In this review, we investigate the different etiologies causing superscan and the reported frequency of superscan ...

Radiolabeled Nanocarriers as Theranostics—Advancement from Peptides to Nanocarriers

Small, Volume 18, Issue 25, June 23, 2022., 2022
Endogenous radiotherapy generally shows a favorable safety profile, however, it is limited by the dose that can be injected without affecting critical organs. This review offers important information and suggestions regarding the field of radio‐nanomedicine, which focuses on the use of nanocarriers for the delivery of radionuclide in order to improve ...

Exacerbation of Congenital Hydronephrosis as the First Presentation of COVID‐19 Infection in Children

Case Reports in Nephrology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. Congenital hydronephrosis is one of the most common abnormalities of the upper urinary tract, which can be exacerbated by a variety of intrinsic or extrinsic triggers. The urinary tract system is one of the major organs complicated by COVID‐19 infection. Case Presentations.

Critical appraisal of the top-down approach for vesicoureteral reflux [PDF]

Investigative and Clinical Urology, 2017
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has been linked to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), renal scarring, hypertension, renal insufficiency and end-stage kidney disease.

Relative Ectopic Kidney Function Quantification Using DMSA Tomoscintigraphy Modality

Journal of Healthcare Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
The ectopic renal function estimation based on a manual region of interest (ROI) extraction could be considered as time consuming. It could also affect the clinical interpretation and thus deviate the therapeutic attitude. For this purpose, we propose an advanced tool to evaluate such function through the dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) kidney ...

SCINTIGRAPHIC SCREENING IN THE DETECTION OF RENAL SCARRING IN SIBLINGS OF CHILDREN WITH PRIMARY REFLUX [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2007
The correlation of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), urinary tract infection (UTI) and renal scarring is well known. Several risk factors for renal parenchymal lesions have been reported previously.

Ibuprofen Induces Reduction of the Proliferation-Seeking Radiotracer Tc-(V)DMSA Uptake in Severe Epithelial Breast Hyperplasia without Atypia

Molecular Imaging, 2010
The purpose of this study was to investigate if ibuprofen intake can influence mammary uptake of the proliferation-seeking radiotracer technetium 99m–pentavalent dimercaptosuccinic acid ( 99m Tc-(V)DMSA) in women with severe epithelial and atypical ...
