Validation of numerical outputs of IAEA software by the analysis of diuretic nephrogram in children with antenatally detected hydronephrosis.

CONCLUSION: We have calculated in children by means of the IAEA software the values of three advanced parameters of the (99m)Tc MAG3 F+2 diuresis nephrogram for normal kidneys, hypotonic non-obstructed and obstructed kidneys. The overall results provided evidence of excellent agreement of obtained results with previously reported values of the quantitative parameters of renal washout. The parameters of IAEA software has been shown to be reliable in assessing kidney drainage. The nuclear medicine section of the IAEA should be encouraged to produce final version of the software and to release it through IAEA Web site. PMID: 26665226 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
