Renal advanced imaging

Recent advances in detecting renal function include the development of fluorescently labeled novel compounds (hydrophilic pyrazine dyes, carbostyril 124-DTPA-Eu, fluorescein-labeled poly-D-lysine) and their detection via in vivo fluorescence imaging or through transcutaneous detection (Dorshow et al., 1998 Rabito et al., 2005 Rajagopalan et al, 2011 Poreddy et al, 2012). Both the hydrophilic pyrazine dyes (see Fig. 34.1) and the modified DTPA are cleared exclusively by glomerular filiation, and...
