Main Results:

  • Radioactive tracers are currently the preferred method for accurate individual renal function determination.
  • New CT and MRI applications show promise but lack extensive study data.

Conclusions:

  • Radioactive tracers remain the gold standard for assessing individual kidney function.
  • Further large-scale studies are necessary to validate the role of CT and MRI in renal function assessment.
