function (dynamic)

31
Q

relative time frame for imaging

A

flow = 2 mins

post-void static = 2.5 mins

32
Q

renogram

A

TAC that shows perfusion uptake and excretion of RP in each kidney

33
Q

aorta ROI

A

assesses perfusion and quality of bolus

34
Q

dynamic function renogram has 3 phases

A
  1. blood flow
  2. cortical function
  3. clearance
35
Q

peak activity in healthy, hydrated patient

A

3-5 min post injection

36
Q

bladder is seen by ..

A

4-8 mins

37
Q

blood flow aka

A

perfusion, vascular

38
Q

cortical function aka

A

cortical uptake, parenchymal, tubular concentration, secretory

39

clearance aka

A

excretion, collecting system

40

(typically, 3-5 min)

41
Q

20 min/max count ratio

A

ratio <0.35

42
Q

what is the 20min/max count ratio measuring?

A

residual cortical activity based on counts at 20 mins to max counts
= transit time in kidney

43

A

<20 mins
(typically, 8-12 mins)

45
Q

what does T1/2 represent?

A

time for half the peak activity to be cleared from the kidney

46
Q

what is differential cortical retention?

A

% retained in each kidney at 15 or 20 mins

47
Q

differential renal function

A

each kidney 45-55%
