Comparison of Technetium-99m MAG3TM and lodine-131 OIH ERPF Results Using the Camera Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent studies have suggested that technetium-99m (19mTc) MAG3 can be substituted for iodine-131 ( 131 I) OIH, with better image quality and lower radiation dose. This study compares the two radiopharmaceuticals for effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) results using only the camera method. Twenty patients with varying degrees of renal impairment were studied. In 13 of these patients, direct comparisons were made between the two compounds. The latter group consisted of 7 females and 6 males, including 3 normals. Sequential serial digital 30-min mTc-MAG3 and t 31 I]OIH imaging studies were performed. Renogram curves were generated and ERPF values calculated using Schlegel's program. By slight modification of the formula, the results obtained with mTcMAG3 compared well with those obtained with { 131 I}OIH (p < 0.01).

متن کاملHow gender and age affect iodine-131-OIH and technetium-99m-MAG3 clearance.
OBJECTIVE The relationship between age and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) results, as measured in nuclear medicine, is well known. This paper explores the relationships among gender, age, and ERPF measurements. After reading this paper, the nuclear medicine technologist should be able to: (a) discuss the importance of establishing normal range values for ERPF that include age and gender var...

Previous studies have suggested that by slight modification of the cu"entformulosfor iodine-131 (1) orthoiodohippurate (OIH) effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) quantitation, technetium99m ('mTc) mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG~ can be substituted for 1-0IH in the quantitative renal function protocol. This study was undertaken to compare two different camera techniques that do not require blood sa...
متن کاملThe Significance of Radiopharmaceutical Choice on the Estimation of the Absolute Renal Function in Different Stages of Renal Failure
Objective: An abnormal filtration fraction due to divergence between glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) may lead to different estimations of absolute renal function, depending on the radiopharmaceutical administered. The purpose of this study was to estimate GFR and ERPF by measuring the clearances of technetium-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc...
متن کاملPrediction of renal transplant survival from early postoperative radioisotope studies.
UNLABELLED It has been routine at the University of Alabama Medical Center to obtain a radionuclide renal function study immediately after transplantation (usually within 3 d) that includes estimation of effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) from a single plasma sample in addition to imaging. We present here the correlation between baseline measurements and the 1-y graft survival. METHODS Two co...
