28 sie 2023 · The nuclear renal scan, also known as renal scintigraphy, is an imaging method that uses radiopharmaceuticals/radiotracers to evaluate renal anatomy, physiology, and pathology. The various injected radiotracers are extracted from the blood by the kidneys and emit radiation, particularly gamma radiation, that is detected by gamma cameras.
14 paź 2021 · During a kidney test, a nuclear medicine technologist takes images of your kidneys. These images show blood flow into and out of your kidneys. They also show urine flow between your kidneys, ureters (which connect your kidneys and bladder) and bladder.
14 lip 2024 · Renal imaging in nuclear medicine is a method to assess the kidneys and collecting systems via multiple different radioactive tracers. Dynamic renal imaging is performed using Tc-99m MAG3 or Tc-99m DTPA, and static renal imaging is performed with Tc-99m DMSA.
1 maj 2014 · Obstruction to urinary outflow may lead to obstructive uropathy (dilatation of the calices, pelvis, or ureters) and obstructive nephropathy (damage to the parenchyma). The goal of intervention in patients with suspected obstruction is to preserve renal function.
With a low radiation burden and the absence of sedation, these nuclear medicine procedures are easy to perform and can provide clinicians with valuable data on renal perfusion and the function of individual kidneys, as well as on urinary tract dynamics.
1 kwi 2014 · The clearance of OIH and the clearance of 99m Tc tubular tracers from the plasma both require delivery to the kidney (renal plasma flow), but they also require extraction from the plasma. These parameters do not always change in a proportional fashion.
