Neurourology and Urodynamics 34 : 513 – 518 ( 2015 ) Diagnostic Accuracy of Tc-99 m DMSA Scintigraphy and Renal Ultrasonography for Detecting Renal Scarring and Relative Function in Patients With Spinal Dysraphism

To study additional benefits of performing Tc‐99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc‐99m‐DMSA) scintigraphy as part of the follow‐up of adults with spinal dysraphism (SD), compared with ultrasonography, with regard to finding renal scarring and difference in split renal function.
