Testing the rate of creatinine clearance by measuring the level of creatinine in the blood and
in a 24-h urine collection is a common method of evaluating renal function. The result is …

Purpose: To establish camera-based methods for estimating Tc-99m
mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) clearance without blood sampling. Materials and Methods …

OBJECTIVE. The 24-hour creatinine clearance is the standard clinical technique for
measuring kidney function; however, this measurement is cumbersome and inconvenient for …

To develop a camera-based method for evaluating renal function with 99mTc-
mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3), we examined the relationship between various renogram …

The need to draw regions of interest (ROIs) manually may reduce the convenience and
reliability of estimating renal function from renal scintigraphy. We developed a …

We compared single-sample methods, proposed by Russell et al. and Bubeck et al., and
camera-based methods in calculating 99m Tc-MAG3 clearance, and determined camera …

560 Objectives The aim was to validate new method for gamma-camera (GC) measurement
of 99mTc-MAG3 plasma clearance providing supplementary clinical information in dynamic …

Results The depths of right kidney (Dr) and left kidney (Dl) were 7.33+/-1.27 and 7.07+/-1.27
cm. The correlation coefficients between Dr and height (H) body weight (W), body surface …

Fractional renal accumulation of a radiotracer is often used to measure renal function with
camera-based methods. We evaluated the effect of deadtime count loss on the calculation of …

Objective To improve the estimation of 99m Tc mercaptoacetyltriglycine clearance in the
renal uptake method by optimizing the conditions of renal depth, background, threshold for …
