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

OBJECTIVES: To determine the value and limitations of technetium-99m
mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) clearance measurements obtained using a gamma camera …

OBJECTIVE. Specific quantitative measurements have been recommended to assist in the
interpretation of technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) renal studies. Our …

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

OBJECTIVES: To address the fact that a decrease in the relative renal uptake of 99mTc-
mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) on serial MAG3 scans may indicate a loss of function and …

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 …

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the intra-and inter-observer agreement in
assessing the renal function by means of 99mTc-MAG3 diuretic renography. One hundred …

Purpose To compare the accuracy of three camera-assisted methods for the measurement
of Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) clearance. Materials and Methods MAG3 renal …

METhODS Technetium-99m-MAG3 clearance is proportional to OlH dearance and can be
used directly as a measure of renal function. Multiple plasma sample, two-compartment …

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 …
