چکیده مقاله:

Background: Measurement of absolute or differential renal function using radiotracers plays an important role in the clinical management of various renal diseases. Gamma camera quantitative methods in approximation of renal clearance may potentially be as accurate as plasma clearance methods. However some critical factors such as kidney depth and background counts are still troublesome in the use of this technique. In this study the conjugate-view method along with some background correction techniques have been used for the measurement of renal activity in 99mTc-MAG3 renography. Transmission data were used for attenuation correction and the source volume was considered for accurate background subtraction. Material and methods: The study was performed in 35 adult patients referred to our department for conventional renography and ERPF calculation. Depending on the patient’s weight approximately 10-15 mCi 99mTc-MAG3 was injected in the form of a sharp bolus and 60 frames of 1 second followed by 174 frames of 10 seconds were acquired for each patient. Imaging was performed on a dual-head gamma camera (SOLUS; SunSpark10, ADAC Laboratories, Milpitas, CA). Anterior and posterior views were acquired simultaneously. A LEHR collimator was used to correct scatter for the emission and transmission images. Buijs factor was applied on background counts before background correction (Rutland-Patlak equation). Gamma camera clearance was calculated using renal uptake in 1-2, 1.5-2.5, 2-3 min. The same procedure was repeated for both renograms obtained from posterior projection and conjugate views. The plasma clearance was also directly calculated by three blood samples obtained at 40, 80, 120 min after injection. Results: 99mTc-MAG3 clearances using direct sampling method were used as reference values and compared to the results obtained from the renograms. The maximum correlation was found between conjugate view clearance at 2-3 min (R=0.99, R²=0.98, SE=15). Conventional posterior view acquisition at the same time had showed less correlation (R=0.956, R²=0.914). Both gamma camera methods after vascular activity subtraction revealed worse correlation (R=0.717 to 0.812). Conclusion: Conjugate view clearance can be used for calculation of renal clearance with a very good approximation. However in the presence of overlapping organs (Liver and spleen) may interfere with the results. Further work needed on to find the best method of background subtraction.

Estimation of 99mTc-MAG3 clearance by single-sample methods and camera-based methods.

We compared single-sample methods, proposed by Russell et al. and Bubeck et al., and camera-based methods in calculating 99mTc-MAG3 clearance, and determined camera-based methods that provide estimates comparable to those measured by the Russell method. Twenty-one patients underwent 99mTc-MAG3 renal scintigraphy, and clearance was measured by the Russell method and Bubeck method. Various renogr...

Radionuclidic techniques may provide assessment of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) effective renal plasma flow (ERPF) or individual renal function. Several agents were available for determination of these parameters such as ¹³¹I-OIH (O-iodohippurate) and different derivatives of DADS (Diamidodisulfur). OIH has the disadvantage of imparting a relatively high absorbed radiation dose to the...
