| Popis: | The value of 99m Technetium-mercapto acetyl triglycine ( 99m Tc MAG3) in the investigation of 10 children with suspected multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) has been assessed. The condition has to be distinguished from hydronephrosis, usually caused by pelviureteric junction obstruction. Based on our findings, we propose that 99m Tc MAG3 replace 99m Tc DMSA because it allows a better assessment of the contralateral kidney and permits a full assessment where the diagnosis is hydronephrosis rather than MCDK. |
