  • * Late residence time used physical decay because, inconsistent with imaging and physical half-life, scatter-corrected data showed increasing counts beyond 4 h.

  • Negative counts in photopeak after scatter subtraction in 1 kidney.

  • ND = no data available, technical problems with camera.

  • In several of these patients, data from only 1 kidney were used for kidney dose estimates.
