Outline of Final Research Achievements

Relationship between image quality and administrated dose of nuclear dynamic examination typified by pediatric renal scintigraphy examination were investigated from a renal kinetics simulated phantom considering physiological circulation. In the case of the minimum dose of consensus guidelines of pediatric nuclear medicine examination, the image quality obtained with the developed renal kinetics phantom was visually not acceptable in clinical practice. However, it was suggested that the influence on each quantitative index calculated from the time activity curve (Renogram) of the kidney does not depend on the administrated dose.
