Estimation of renal perfusion based on measurement of rubidium-82 clearance by PET/CT scanning in healthy subjects

Estimation of renal perfusion based on measurement of rubidium-82 clearance by PET/CT scanning in healthy subjects

Abstract Background Changes in renal blood flow (RBF) may play a pathophysiological role in hypertension and kidney disease. However, RBF determination in humans has proven difficult. We aimed to confirm the feasibility of RBF estimation based on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET...
