  • Title: Noninvasive measurement of an index of renal blood flow.
    Author: Powers TA, Rees RS, Bowen RD.
    Journal: Invest Radiol; 1983; 18(4):341-4. PubMed ID: 6311770.
    Abstract:
    A new technique for the noninvasive measurement of an index of renal blood flow is described. The method utilizes ultrasound determined renal volume and radionuclide assessment of the mean transit time of a pertechnetate bolus through the kidneys. From this information a value for flow is calculated according to compartmental analysis principles. There is good correlation between renal blood flow estimated by this technique and that determined by microsphere injection, r = 0.96.
