Role of technetium-99m N,N-ethylenedicysteine renal scintigraphy in the evaluation of differential renal function and cortical defects.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of technetium-99m N,N-ethylenedicysteine (Tc-99m EC) in comparison to technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-99m DMSA) scintigraphy. Differential renal function (DRF) was calculated by both methods and the cortical-phase images of dynamic Tc-99m EC scintigraphy were evaluated for parenchymal defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A total of 62 patients with various kidney disorders ranging in age from 1 to 44 years underwent both Tc-99m DMSA and Tc-99m EC scintigraphy. Tc-99m EC summed images of the cortical phase and Tc-99m DMSA images were evaluated visually and quantitatively. Visual analysis was used to define renal parenchymal abnormalities. Quantitative analysis was used in the calculation of DRF. The Tc-99m DMSA scan was taken as the gold standard, and the summed Tc-99m EC scan findings were compared against it. RESULTS:The images obtained with Tc-99m DMSA and Tc-99m EC scintigraphy revealed 99 and 97 focal defects, respectively. The 2 renal parenchyma defects located in the ventral middle sections remained undetected with Tc-99m EC scintigraphy. DRF of the kidneys in each patient was compared using both radiopharmaceuticals. Highly positive correlation between the differential function of these 2 investigations was found (R = 0.91, P = 0.001). The values of mean DRF of the left kidney on Tc-99m EC and Tc-99m DMSA images were 45.8 +/- 19.1 and 45.0 +/- 20.4, respectively. There were no significant differences (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION:This study suggests that although Tc-99m DMSA scintigraphy remains the gold standard method for evaluating parenchymal abnormalities, Tc-99m EC scintigraphy can be a reliable single-modality study to evaluate renal cortical defects, DRF, perfusion, drainage of the urinary system, and indirect evidence of vesicoureteric reflux with the added advantage of low radiation exposure to the patient.
