Abstract

Kemik sintigrafisinde saptanan atnalı böbrek anomalisi

Tüm vücut blood pool ve kemik sintigrafisinde 66 yaşındaki meme kanserli hastada atnalı böbrek anomalisi saptanmıştır. Kemik sintigrafisinde yalancı pozitiflik sebebi olabilecek atnalı böbrekler DMSA sintigrafisi ile de gösterilmiştir.

Abstract

A 66-year-old woman with breast cancer underwent a bone scintigraphy to evaluate for bone metastases. Blood pool and whole body bone scan images were obtained using Tc-99m MDP ( technetium 99m-metilen diphosphonate). The scanes revealed horseshoe kidney. A DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid) renal scintigraphy confirmed the horseshoe kidney.

Key Words: Bone Scintigraphy, Renal Scintigraphy, Horseshoe Kidney
