Renal Cortical Imaging with Tc-99m DMSA in Children: An Institutional Review.

Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy is widely advocated for functional and morphological evaluation of the renal cortex including parenchymal defect. Moreover, only a small percentage of renal defects are detected by ultrasound.
