DMSA-camSPECT/US fusion imaging of children's kidneys - Proof of feasibility

摘要

Aim SPECT using Tc-99m-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA-camSPECT) and ultrasound (US) are useful diagnostic modalities in pediatric nephrology. Former studies proved SPECT/US fusion to be a problem-solving tool for thyroid and sentinel lymph node imaging. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of real-time DMSA-camSPECT/US fusion in children and to evaluate the technical implementation.
