Effect of imaging time on the distribution volume ratio DVR. The bias represented by the average % difference (for the 12 kidneys) between the actual DVR and reference DVR is acceptable (less than 10%) at time points 57.5 min or later. Loadings on factor 1 are acceptable (higher than 0.800) at time points 47.5 min or later.
