A renal (kidney) scan is a test to evaluate the anatomy and function of the kidney. A renal scan is also known as renal imaging or renal scintigraphy. A renal scan is used for diagnosis of renal cortical lesions by using radioisotopes. It is also done to detect the location and degree of renal scars and renal parenchymal changes. EC renal scan is a type of nuclear medicine procedure that uses a radioactive material called a radiotracer. Doctor would use Technetium-99m Ethylene Dicysteine (EC or TC99m EC) which is a metabolite of ethylene cysteine dimer while performing EC renal scan. EC or TC99M EC is a new technetium-labelled renal radiotracer. It has faster clearance (higher leakage) rate and thus absorbed radiation dose in patients is less. Additionally, an EC renal scan creates better quality cortical images.
