  • Title: Multicystic dysplastic kidney: another application of 99mTc MAG3.
    Author: Tyrrell PN, Boivin CM, Burrell DN, Mountford PJ, Chapman S.
    Journal: Clin Radiol; 1994 Jun; 49(6):400-3. PubMed ID: 8045064.
    Abstract:
    The value of 99mTechnetium-mercapto acetyl triglycine (99mTcMAG3) 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 99mTc MAG3 replace 99mTc DMSA because it allows a better assessment of the contralateral kidney and permits a full assessment where the diagnosis is hydronephrosis rather than MCDK.
