99mTc-DMSA renal cortical scanning: a comparison of planar, SPECT, and SPECT/CT imaging for the detection of renal cortical scarring

Abstract Background The best way to assess renal cortical scarring is planar scintigraphy with 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), while the value of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) is not well validated. The aim of the present study was to assess the valu...
