A comprehensive analysis of renal DTPA studies. I. Theory and normal values.
Gamma camera renograms, using DTPA, were analysed to obtain flow rates and transit times during the initial arterial phase (0-36 s) and the later glomerular phase (37 s onwards). This paper outlines the underlying theory, and the effect of age on all the variables, calculated from patients with normal renal function.
