A DTPA renal scan provides functional information about your kidneys.
The basic procedure for performing a DTPA Renal Scan may vary slightly depending on the specific information that we require about your kidneys prior to your scan. For example a blood pressure tablet or an injection called Lasix may need to be given either prior to or at some stage during the examination.
The scan is performed with the Gamma Camera underneath the scanning bed close to your body but you do not go through a 'tunnel'. You will not be required to undress for the scan.
