Kidney imaging

Technetium-99m gluceptate is used in brain and kidney imaging. Sodium gluceptate is the active ingredient. The product is formed by the addition... 

Fig. 4.4. RLD FLIM of (A) unstained freshly resected human pancreas imaged though a macroscope at 7.7 frames per second and (B) unstained sheep s kidney imaged through a rigid endoscope at 7 frames per second. Both samples illuminated at excitation wavelength of 355 nm and fluorescence imaged through a 375 nm long pass filter. Adapted from Fig. 3 of Ref. [18].

The usual intravenous dose of pentetate calcium trisodium Yb 169 injection for brain and kidney imaging is the equivalent of 0.037 GBq. Express this dose in terms of millicuries.

Different methods of kidney imaging have shown that Balkan nephropathy patients with chronic renal failure have symmetrically shrunken kidneys with smooth surface and no calcifications [90]. The time at which the shrinking occurs remains to be determined. While some authors suggest that the size of the kidneys remains normal in patients in the latent phase of the disease and with normal renal function, others report cases of shrunken kidneys in patients in an early phase with normal glomerular filtration rate, and it was even proposed that the disease was characterized with primarily small kidneys [98, 110, 112]. As ultrasound became a standard imaging method in the evaluation of kidney dimensions, several recent studies that used this method showed diminished kidney length and cortex width in members of Balkan nephropathy families with normal kidney function [113, 114]. Besides,... 

Because of the slow transfer of activity from blood to kidney, imaging should be delayed for 3 h after injection. 

A wide variety of anomalies occur in duplex kidneys. Imaging is mandatory in order to characterize the precise anatomy and to orient surgery.
