In the last decade, management of congenital UPJ obstruction has become progressively
observational despite the lack of precise predictors of outcome. While it is clear that many …

The practice of medicine involves not only the science but also the art of dealing with the
prevention, diagnosis, alleviation, and treatment of disease. The variety and complexity of …

Radionuclide renal scintigraphy provides important functional data to assist in the diagnosis
and management of patients with a variety of suspected genitourinary tract problems, but the …

The goal of functional renal imaging is to identify and quantitate irreversible renal damage
and nephron loss, as well as potentially reversible hemodynamic changes. MR urography …

Purpose To assess the potential of DCE MR CEST urography for assessing renal function in
mice with unilateral ureter obstruction (UUO) by simultaneous pH and renal …

Purpose The recognition of those hydronephrotic kidneys which require therapy to preserve
renal function remains difficult. We retrospectively compared the 'tissue tracer transit'(TTT) of …

Background Renal scintigraphy using 99m Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99m Tc-MAG3) is
widely used for the assessment of renal function in humans. However, the application of this …

Renal radionuclide imaging has been a mainstay in the pediatric nuclear medicine field for
many years. A better understanding of the pathophysiological basis of renal obstruction has …

Objective To determine the clinical value of visually assessed renal tissue transit time (TTT)
in 99m Tc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99m Tc-MAG3) renography for patients undergoing …

Objective This study aims to evaluate interobserver agreement on visual analysis of
technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99m Tc-MAG3) renal tissue transit used for the …
