Background Both the development of kidney function in healthy children and autoregulation
ability of kidney function in patients with asymmetric kidneys are important in clinical …

Functional compensation occurs in a kidney when the function of the contralateral kidney is
decreased or absent. What is, however, not documented is the level of unilateral renal …

Because loss of functional renal mass is compensated by hyperfiltration of remaining tissue,
one could hypothesize that a damaged kidney might not have the same rate of maturation as …

Aim Tc-99m DMSA renal cortical scan is a reference method for determining relative renal
function (RRF). Tc-99m MAG-3 is also recommended for the estimation of RRF, particularly …

Objectives The aims of this study were to establish the reproducibility of estimates of
differential renal function (DRF) obtained using the software supplied by different vendors …

Objectives: Contradictory supranormal renal function (SRF) in unilateral hydronephrosis is a
debatable subject resulting from the methodology of nuclear renography or the …

Objective: The aim of this study was to demonstrate the functional compensation that occurs
in kidneys which accompany a partner with total or partial loss of renal functioning mass …

Purpose: To discriminate pathological from physiological hydronephrosis 99mTc-
mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) diuretic renography is a fundamental imaging modality …

Background Urinary system anomalies, both congenital and acquired, constitute a relatively
common clinical problem in children. The main role of diagnostic imaging is to determine …

We were interested in reading the papers by Brink and colleagues published in the June
2012 issue of Nucl Med Commun [1]. The authors aimed to assess the reproducibility of the …
