Influence of Early Bladder Imaging in Experimental Rabbits on the Quantitative Determination of Glomerular Filtration Rate by the Gates Method

Figure 1

Linear regression results and scatter plots between 1-2 min and 2-3 min renal uptake rates. (a) Total kidney: (a1) the total renal uptake rate without correction by bladder radioactivity; (a2) the total renal uptake rate with correction by bladder radioactivity. (b) Left kidney: (b1) the left renal uptake rate without correction by bladder radioactivity; (b2) the left renal uptake rate with correction by bladder radioactivity. (c) Right kidney: (c1) the right renal uptake rate without correction by bladder radioactivity; (c2) the right renal uptake rate with correction by bladder radioactivity.
