Abstract:Objective
To estimate the gonadal doses irradiated from urine- contaminated diapers during diuretic renal scintigraphy.
Methods
Images of 31 patients (18 males and 13 females) with urine-contaminated diapers during 99mTc-MAG3 renal scintigraphy were analyzed. The count rate of the diapers was converted into a time-activity curve based on the calibrated factor of the gamma camera system. The cumulative activity was determined from the area under the curv… Show more
