Normal Dimercaptosuccinic Acid Scintigraphy Makes Voiding Cystourethrography Unnecessary after Urinary Tract Infection

Objective To test the hypothesis that infants with dilating vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) have abnormal acute dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy results, as was suggested by an earlier retrospective study. Study design We conducted a prospective study of infants
