Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is actively concentrated in adrenergic neuroendocrine tissues and tumors by an active, energy- and sodium-dependent, high-affinity, saturable mechanism. This has proved successful, when labeled with 131-I or 123-I, in scintigraphically depicting pheochromocytomas and n

## Abstract ## Purpose To compare six methods for calculating the singleβkidney glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from __T__~1~βweighted magnetic resonance (MR) renography (MRR) against reference radionuclide measurements. ## Materials and Methods In 10 patients, GFR was determined using six publ
Diverse physiological timescales in different animals can have an important influence on the measurement of biological variables. In vertebrates, the absolute and relative rates of glomerular filtration span several orders of magnitude. These differences have important implications for the logistics
## Abstract ## Objectives Renal disease is increasingly regarded as an independent risk factor for vascular disease which in itself is believed to influence risk of AD. Alterations in amyloid homeostasis via reduced renal clearance of peripheral betaβamyloid (A|\*beta\*|) may represent another pot
