Effect of imaging time on the distribution volume ratio . The bias represented by the average % difference (for the 12 kidneys) between the actual and reference is acceptable (less than 10%) at time points 82.5 min or later. Loadings on factor 1 are acceptable (higher than 0.800) at all time points.
