Quantitation of renal function with 99Tcm-DMSA. A comparison with creatinine clearance in children with single kidney.

abstract：:Mobile PET/CT or mobile stand alone PET, is becoming more widely available throughout the developed world, allowing many small and medium-sized hospitals that do not have the scale or financial resources to purchase the static diagnostic equipment, to benefit from this imaging technology. Before embarking on such a se...
