Abstract:IntroductionPreoperative nuclear medicine renal scintigraphy (NMRS) is often used to predict estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR) after nephrectomy by estimating preoperative split renal function. We sought to determine whether a simple point‐of‐care measurement system estimating renal parenchymal volume using tools ubiquitously available could be used to replace NMRS in current clinical practice.Materials/MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent abdominal cross‐sectional imaging … Show more
