  • Title: Selective scintiangiography of the kidney with xenon-133.
    Author: de Haas G, de Graaf CN, Ruijs JH, van Waes PF.
    Journal: Radiol Clin (Basel); 1978; 47(2):124-31. PubMed ID: 625552.
    Abstract:
    Measurement of the spatial distribution of the clearance rate of xenon-133 from the kidney after its injection into the renal artery for estimating intrarenal blood flow can easily be combined with selective X-ray angiography as a routine method. Using a gamma camera as detection equipment anand applying a special computer analysis technique, 'functional images' can be obtained, by which the spatial distribution of the blood flow in the kidney is quantitatively mapped. Experiments with a rather heterogenous group of 12 patients suggest that in at least one type of renal pathology the xenon-133 flow study is more indicative for clinical evaluation than the X-ray angiography
