Abstract: BACKGROUND To evaluate sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV, respectively) of renal ultrasonography (US) in predicting renal uptake defects or reduced renal function at Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan (primary… read more here.

Abstract: Purpose: Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) renal scan is an important tool for the assessment of childhood urinary tract infection (UTI), vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and renal scarring. We evaluated whether a deep learning (DL) analysis of… read more here.
