G P Leisure et al.
PET tumor imaging of the abdomen and pelvis is prone to artifacts due to urinary tract activity. A new technique has been developed to reduce such artifacts and enhance study interpretation. ...
Determination of glomerular filtration rate using technetium-99m-DTPA with differing degrees of renal function [0.03%]
不同肾功能状态下应用99mTc-DTPA测定肾小球滤过率的研究

K A Morton et al.
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important index of renal function. Twenty-four-hour creatinine clearance overestimates GFR in patients with poor renal function. Inulin and iothalamate clearances are accepted reference standards for d...
