Also Known As
A DMSA scan is an imaging test that finds out the function, size, shape, and position of the kidneys. It also helps to know whether the kidneys are damaged or scarred. A short-lived isotope DMSA (dimercapto succinic acid) is injected to know how well the kidneys are working. Pictures of the kidneys are then taken using a gamma camera.
