  • Title: Clinical experience with 99mTc-DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid), a new renal-imaging agent.
    Author: Handmaker H, Young BW, Lowenstein JM.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1975 Jan; 16(1):28-32. PubMed ID: 1110402.
    Abstract:
    Results are reported from the clinical evaluation of a new radiopharmaceutical for renal imaging, 99mTc-DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid). Sixty-five patients were studied and six of these patients' scintiphotos are illustrated. The physical characteristics of 99mTc and the mercurial-like kinetics of the chelate produced high-resolution scintiphotos of the renal parenchyma in patients of all ages and with a variety of disease entities. The commercial availability of the material in kit form permits its usage in all nuclear medicine facilities.
