title: A single-injection, two-sample method for measuring renal 99mTc-MAG3 clearance in both children and adults.
abstract: We present a method for estimating 99mTc-MAG3 clearance from both a single injection and two blood samples that is valid for both adults and children. It was obtained by fitting a scaled two-compartment model (having only two adjustable parameters) to adult and pediatric data from multiple centers.
