Significance of nuclear medicine scan in comparison with diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid and ultrasound imaging in diagnosing renal disorders : An observational study
The effectiveness of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid scan is regularly monitored for the assessment of any potential modifications in treatment responses or kidney functions in the pediatric population.This study attempts to compare the usefulness of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid and ultrasound imaging of renal disorders among paediatric patients.A retrospective observational study was conducted by enrolling 106 children. The demographic details such as: participant's age, gender, and the history of renal disease of each patient were recorded. Patients were administered radiopharmaceuticals in a fixed dose and were later subjected to computed tomography (CT) scan. The obtained data was analysed using descriptive statistics.Findings indicated increased sensitivity for CT (61.20%); whereas, a major decrease in specificity (23.68%) was observed. Comparison of Single-photon emission CT (SPECT) and CT findings revealed the increased sensitivity (90.90%) for ultrasound; whereas, there was a slight decrease in the specificity (40%) for SPECT. However, SPECT findings show 91% sensitivity among patients with 71.42% positive predictive value. Moreover, an increase in sensitivity for CT (61.20%), followed by a major decrease in specificity (23.68%) was observed.Ultrasonography has been proved to be the safest and the most effective method for the diagnosis and the treatment of most renal disorders, due to the higher predictive value of SPECT scans. It is thus suggested that patients with ureteral calculi should be diagnosed with renal scintigraphy and unenhanced helical computerized tomography.
