Özet

Aims (1) To compare the results of calculating relative renal function (RRF) by using only posterior images (POST) with the geometric mean (GM) through both anterior and posterior imaging on dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy. (2) To determine whether there was an age-related difference between them and whether some renal pathologies or asymmetrical renal function cause an error in the RRF calculation by using posterior images only.
