Maximal detrusor pressure can be predicted using technetium-99m-mertcaptoacetyltriglycine renal scintigraphy in the early stages of spinal cord injury.

These results suggest that 99mTc-MAG-3 renal scintigraphy may be useful for predicting high detrusor pressure in early SCI and may guide the timing of urodynamic studies in individuals with early SCI for appropriate management of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.
