5.2.4 Static renal scintigraphy

Renal scintigraphy with di-mercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) is an ideal method for assessment of renal mor­phology, acute infectious changes, renal scars and functional impairment, for example in multicystic renal dysplasia and reflux nephropathy. This investigation should not usually be used within the first 2 months of life.
