Summary

Extravascular background (EVB) in renograms minimally impacts mean transit time but can skew relative kidney function (RKF) calculations. EVB subtraction is recommended for asymmetric RKFs, with a new post-deconvolution correction method proposed.

Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.)·2018

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear medicine
  • Renal imaging
  • Medical diagnostics

Background:

  • Intravascular background in renograms is understood and correctable.
  • The impact of extravascular background (EVB) on renograms using patient data remains less explored.
  • Accurate renal function assessment is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of extravascular background (EVB) on renogram parameters, specifically relative kidney function (RKF) and mean transit time (MTT).
  • To develop and validate a method for correcting EVB in renograms.
  • To assess the necessity and optimal approach for EVB subtraction in renal imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 131I-hippuran and 99Tcm-DTPA renograms generated by varying region of interest sizes.

  • Deconvolution of renograms to calculate MTT and RKF.
  • Development of a new method for EVB correction post-deconvolution, including a regression-based approach for RKFs >30%.

    • Main Results:

    • EVB has a negligible effect on mean transit time (MTT), rendering subtraction unnecessary for this parameter.
    • EVB can lead to underestimation of higher RKFs and overestimation of lower RKFs.
    • EVB subtraction is crucial when relative kidney functions (RKFs) are asymmetric.

    Conclusions:

    • EVB correction is not required for MTT calculations.
    • EVB subtraction is essential for accurate RKF assessment in cases of asymmetry.
    • A novel post-deconvolution method for EVB correction is proposed, applicable for asymmetric RKFs, with specific approaches for different asymmetry levels.
