Objective: The objective of this work was to determine the minimum administered activity of
99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) needed both to estimate effective renal plasma flow …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Assessment of the kidney's vascular flow is a vital component of the renal scan; however,
achieving perfect positioning for a 99m Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99m Tc-MAG3) renal …

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 …

Abstract Tc-99m-labeled mercaptoacetyltriglycine (Tc-99m MAG3) is a recently introduced
radioagent that is excreted by tubular function. The aim of this study was to test Tc-99m …

This study was undertaken to compare image quality, renal handling and plasma clearance
of 99 Tc m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99 Tc m-MAG3) with those of 123 I-orthoiodohippurate …

(OIH) through 1990 and MAG3 since 1991. MAG3 clearance was divided by 0.53 to convert
it to ERPF. Reproducibility was measured as pooled SD from the single-patient linear …
