Reduction in Radiation Dose in Mercaptoacetyltriglycerine Renography with Enhanced Planar Processing
Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine the minimum dose of technetium 99m ((99m)Tc) mercaptoacetyltriglycerine (MAG3) needed to perform dynamic renal scintigraphy in the pediatric population without loss of diagnostic quality or accurate quantification of renal function and to investigate whether adaptive noise reduction could help further reduce the minimum dose required.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Approval for this retrospective study was obtained from the …
