99Tcm-N,N-ethylenedicysteine scintigraphy in children with various renal disorders: a comparative study with 99Tcm-MAG3.

abstract：:Scintigraphically, Warthin's tumour usually demonstrates increased tracer uptake compared to normal adjacent salivary tissue. A case is presented in which tumour uptake is no greater than the normal adjacent gland. Gustatory stimulation results in failure of tumour tracer washout, and this finding rather than 'hot' sa...
