Relative renal function estimate by renal scintigraphy with 99mTc-DMSA: influence of attenuation correction methods

Introduction – The estimate of relative renal function (RRF) through scintigraphy with dimercaptosuccinic acid labeled with Technetium-99 metastable (99mTc-DMSA) may be influenced by kidney depth (KD), due to attenuation by soft tissue surrounded kidneys. Considering that rarely this KD is known, se...
