ABSTRACT
Absolute 99Tcm-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) uptake was measured in 160 children ranging in age from 3 months to 15 years. In total, 108 pairs of kidneys were normal and the mean uptake for the left and right kidneys was 24.0 and 23.4%, respectively. The mean summed uptake for the left and right kidneys was 47.3%. A method of calculation based on the geometric mean of the anterior and posterior views was used to allow for radiation attenuation. DMSA uptake did not vary significantly with the age of the child. The value of the method in the assessment of abnormal kidneys is presented. The effect of using a supine or prone position for the anterior view was also investigated.
