Renal images of 194 normal subjects given /sup 99m/Tc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) were reviewed to establish normal values and optimal imaging techniques for this new renal agent. Images were consistently of high quality. Normal renal size (posterior length) averaged 11.5 +- 1 cm, and renal radioactivity (functioning tubular mass) was equally divided between the left and right kidney. /sup 99m/Tc-DMSA appears to be an excellent renal parenchymal imaging agent.
