Use of 99Tcm-DMSA as a static renal imaging agent. 1978

J B Bingham, and M N Maisey, and M R Joyce, and H M Saxton

The use of 99Tcm-labelled DMSA as a static renal imaging agent has been analyzed semi-quantitatively in 366 patients. Study with this agent proved to be of most value in patients with equivocal space-occupying lesions of the kidney, provided useful information in various destructive diseases of the kidney when used for determining divided renal function but was of little value in chronic renal failure. In 33 patients, the uptake of 99Tcm-DMSA at 3 h as a measure of divided renal function was compared with the uptake of 99Tcm-DTPA from 30 to 150 sec following injection and was found to correlate well. In a series of 7 dogs with induced unilateral renal impairment, divided function determined with 99Tcm-DMSA was found to correlate well with results obtained using 51Cr-EDTA.
