Jae Won Choi, Sung Ho Cha, Byoung Soo Cho, Duk Yoon Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1997;40(11):1559-1566.   Published online November 15, 1997
Purpose : The accurate identification of renal cortical defects in children with urinary tract infection is essential in reducing subsequent morbidity. Imaging of the kidneys with 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) has been demonstrated as the sensitive method available for identification of renal cortical defects. Single photon emission computerized tomography(SPECT) has been suggested as a method by which the accuracy of identification of renal cortical defects can...
