AB A method is described for recording renogram curves with a scintillation camera from regions of interest without the need for playing back the data stored on videotape. This is done by using 99m Tc-DTPA for predetermination of the regions of interest and then setting the control subpanel of the scintillation camera in the appropriate way. By using this technique, one obtains reliable Hippuran curves simultaneously with the scintiphotos, and by using 99m Tc-DTPA additional diagnostic information is obtained.
