Scintigraphic features of duplex kidneys on DMSA renal cortical scans

Authors: Neha Kwatra, Eglal Shalaby-Rana, Massoud Majd

Published in: Pediatric Radiology | Issue 9/2013

Abstract

The spectrum of manifestations of duplex kidneys on ^99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) renal cortical scans and correlating findings on other imaging modalities are presented. Relevant embryology of the duplex systems and technical aspects of DMSA scintigraphy are reviewed.
