A renogram, which may also be known as a MAG3 scan, allows a nuclear medicine physician or a radiologist to visualize the kidneys and learn more about how they are functioning. (wikipedia.org)
If the kidney is getting blood, but there is an obstruction inferior to the kidney in the bladder or ureters, the radioisotope will not pass beyond the level of the obstruction, whereas if there is a partial obstruction then there is a delayed transit time for the MAG3 to pass. (wikipedia.org)
The ESR will be co-supervised by academics within the University of Liverpool, where he will validate the MSOT data using established techniques such as radioisotope renography (MAG3 scan) using single positron emission computed tomography (SPECT). (renaltoolbox.org)
MAG3 is an excellent replacement for DTPA (eg, diuretic renography) in the pediatric population. (medscape.com)

Department of Nuclear Medicine3
DR. MANDEL: This is an interview of Dr. Jack Davidson, Dr. Giovanni DiChiro, Dr. Gerald Johnston, and Dr. John Harbert, all formerly of the Department of Nuclear Medicine in the Clinical Center about the history of that department. (nih.gov)
Interviewing these gentlemen will be Dr. Richard Mandel, who is currently on contract with the Clinical Center Office of communications developing a history of the Clinical Center, Dennis Rodrigues from the NIH Historical Office and Ronald Newman from the Department of Nuclear Medicine, who is currently the Chief of that section. (nih.gov)
And I made a formal proposal to the management in Building 1 that they ought to consider instituting a Department of Nuclear Medicine in the Clinical Center to centralize these facilities and to be available then to all patients in any institute. (nih.gov)
