Repeat studies were performed at 3 to 4 weeks after the initial study(remission stage). Lavage cell counts and differentials were...

Necessity of 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid scan in infants with low grade vesicoureteral feflux

Ji Yeon Koh, Ja Wook Koo

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(6):648-652. Published online June 15, 2006

Objective : 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid(DMSA) scan is considered to be the most sensitive examination for detection of renal scars.
