Development and prospective evaluation of an automated software system for quality control of quantitative 99mTc-MAG3 renal studies.
UNLABELLED Quantitative nuclear renography has numerous potential sources of error. We previously reported the initial development of a computer software module for comprehensively addressing the issue of quality control (QC) in the analysis of radionuclide renal images. The objective of this study was to prospectively test the QC software. METHODS The QC software works in conjunction with st...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of diuretic renography in the study of obstructive uropathy in nuclear medicine [Persian]
Introduction: Urinary obstructive disease is one of the most common disorders in urinary system. Dilatation which is detected by sonography, is a key finding in obstruction in most of the cases, also could be found following surgery, lithotripsy and vesico–urethral reflux. Radioistope diuretic washout renography is a useful method to differentiate mechanical and non...

متن کاملComparison of aspirin renogram and captopril renogram in the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Preliminary data indicate that aspirin renography with hippurate may be more sensitive for detection RAS. In this study 20 patients with known or suspected RAS underwent aspirin renography (20 mg/kg orally 1 hour before injection of radiotracer) and captopril renography (50 mg orally) with 99mTc-DTPA. Renal an...
متن کاملEvaluation of neonatal hydronephrosis with diuretic renography
The common use of maternal ultrasonography has increased the apparent incidence of neonatal hydronephrosis. Many of these cases are found to have partial obstruction at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). These patients are safely managed in our institution with careful observation and only occasionally require surgical intervention. The authors present two contrastin...
