title: Positron emission tomography in the study of acute radiation effects on renal blood flow in dogs.
abstract: Renal blood flow measurements have been carried out by means of positron emission tomography (PET) to facilitate the detection of radiation-induced injuries. The advantages of the method employed in animal experiments are described.
