PAR images generated from a dynamic renal scintigraphy improved sensitivity of detection of renal scars as compared with SUM images, providing a high reproducibility and diagnostic efficacy, similar to that of Tc-99m DMSA, in detection of post-inflammatory renal scarring.
BACKGROUND:The clinical significance of MTT and PTT, determined by deconvolution of renographic curves, is arguable. Their usefulness in diagnosis of obstructive uro-and nephropathy, renovascular hypertension and monitoring of transplanted
BACKGROUND: Clinically confirmed incidents of acute pyelonephritis (APN) following recurrent infections of urinary tract (UTI) form basic risk factors for renal scarring in children. Vesico-uretheral reflux (VUR) of higher grade is additional risk factor
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
