Optimizing an 18F-NaF and 18F-FDG cocktail for PET assessment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

abstract：:In the presence of abnormal fluid collection (e.g. ascites), the measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) based on a small number (1-4) of plasma samples fails. This study investigated how a few samples will allow adequate characterization of plasma clearance to give a robust and accurate GFR measurement. A tot...
