Abstract(s)

The renogram (RNG) enables the evaluation of morphology and function of the urinary system. 99mTc-MAG3 is the most widely used radiopharmaceutical for studies in pediatric settings. For calculation of the parameters of renal function (RF) some processing algorithms are used. Was studied the MAG3 Without Samples (MWS) and QuantEM Expert (QEE), the most applied in Portugal in nuclear medicine. Aim of the study: Evaluate the correlation of RF in RNG, with the processing algorithms MWS and QEE.
