title: The value of performing both IVU and DMSA scan in patients with urinary stone disease.
abstract: A study of 60 patients with stone disease was done, all patients had an IVU and DMSA scan. A DMSA scan helps to show clear cortical images, diagnose cortical scars and absence of cortical tissue. While the IVU allows gross evaluation of kidney function and morphological changes, the DMSA scan is an accurate measure of functioning renal mass. Anyhow, both studies are complementary to each other in patients with stones disease.
