چکیده
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 variables; (b) state how age affects ERPF results; and (c) state how gender affects ERPF results.

Comparison of Technetium-99m MAG3TM and lodine-131 OIH ERPF Results Using the Camera Technique
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 compa...

متن کاملComparison of technetium-99m MAG3 with iodine-131 hippuran by a simultaneous dual channel technique.
Technetium-99m MAG3, a technetium-labeled analog of hippuran, was compared with [131I] hippuran using a simultaneous dual isotope study in 20 patients. The plasma clearance for MAG3 was lower than that of hippuran, but its plasma concentration was higher, resulting in similar rates of excretion and similar renal time-activity curves. Apart from better statistics with the technetium-labeled agen...

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...

We quantitatively evaluated total and individual renal function by technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (Tc-99m MAG3) renal scintigraphy before and after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of renal tumors. Eleven patients who underwent Tc-99m MAG3 renal scintigraphy 1 week before and after RFA were evaluated (7 men and 4 women; age range: 23-83 years; mean age: 60.6 years). Five patients had soli...
