Overview
Technetium Tc-99m (Tc) succimer, also known as technetium Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), is a radioactive diagnostic agent used to evaluate functional renal tissue and tubular function in patients with renal parenchymal disorders. It works by binding to the cortical region of the kidneys. Technetium Tc-99m succimer is used with gamma scintigraphy or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The use of technetium Tc-99m succimer for the detection of kidney cortical defects was first approved by the FDA on February 23, 2022, under the market name NephroScan.
