Abstract
In adults, renal glomerular filteration rate (GFR) can be determined in vivo using a camera method in a planar imaging mode or in vitro using blood sampling. Both this methods, however, have limitations. Accurate quantitation is difficult to achieve in planar imaging and blood method requires taking several blood samples and provides only an overall GFR value for both kidneys. The dynamic SPECT imaging (dSPECT) method when applied to renal …
