Non-invasive quantification of renal function with radionuclides is an important role of
nuclear medicine. With modern commercial preparations of technetium-99m diethylene …

Abstract purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and
clinical usefulness of renography performed in combination with captopril administration …

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of the absolute renal blood flow
quantification using MRI and injection of contrast media. Using a T1-weighted fast gradient …

Renalscintigraphy with ["" Tcjdiethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and/or
sodiumiodine-131-o-iodohippurate (HIP) was performed before and after an oral dose of …

This technique for non-invasive measurement of renal blood flow is based on the principle of
fractionation of cardiac output, and applicable with any recirculating gamma activity tracer. It …

A bilateral, exercise-mediated renal functional abnormality was first described more than a
decade ago. The disturbance is specific for hypertension, is seen in different forms of …

Scintigraphic imaging of renal phyisology can be achieved by gamma camera planar
imaging, single photon emission computerised tomography (SPECT) or positron emission …

Captopril facilitates detection of unilateral renovascular hypertension by selectively reducing
glomerular filtration rate in affected kidneys. To determine if volume depletion augments this …

Renovascular hypertension (RVH) occurs as the result of a severe decrease in renal blood
flow (renal ischemia) secondary to unilateral or bilateral branch or main renal artery stenosis …
