Administered activity optimization in 99mTc-MAG3 renography for adults.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this work was to determine the minimum administered activity of (99m)Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) needed both to estimate effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) with adequate precision and to obtain good image quality. METHODS Three groups of 10 patients each were injected with 45, 71, or 132 MBq of MAG3. Renograms and perfusion and clearance images were obtained....
متن کاملIntra-observer and inter-observer repeatability of ocular surface interferometer in measuring lipid layer thickness
BACKGROUND Tear lipid morphology is important for normal tear function. Recently, there have been clinical studies using interferometry to assess lipid layer thickness (LLT). The aim of the study is to examine the repeatability of a commercially available interferometer. METHODS Two observers measured LLT in twenty Asian subjects (20 eyes) using an interferometer (LipiView® ocular surface int...
متن کاملAssessment of renal function in mice with unilateral ureteral obstruction using 99mTc-MAG3 dynamic scintigraphy
BACKGROUND Renal scintigraphy using 99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG3) is widely used for the assessment of renal function in humans. However, the application of this method to animal models of renal disease is currently limited, especially in rodents. Here, we have applied 99mTc-MAG3 renal scintigraphy to a mouse model of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and evaluated its utility...
متن کاملFactors affecting the hepatobiliary excretion of 99mTc-MAG3: its clinical significance in routine renography.
OBJECTIVE Since the approval of mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) for routine clinical use, reports have appeared about hepatobiliary excretion deleteriously affecting available diagnostic and quantitative information. The purpose of this study was to evaluate gallbladder (GB) uptake of MAG3 in the clinical setting and its effect on the evaluation of relative renal function and imaging. METHODS...
