Abstract Background Traditionally, isotope nephrography is considered as the method of choice to assess kidney function parameters in nuclear medicine. We propose a novel approach to determine the split function (SF), mean transit time (MTT), and outflow efficiency (OE) with 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) dynamic positron emission tomography (PET). Materials and methods Healthy adult subjects underwent dynamic simultaneous FDG-PET and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI). Time-activity curves (TACs) of total kidneys, renal cortices, and the aorta were prospectively obtained from dynamic PET series. MRI images were used for anatomical correlation. The same individuals were subjected to dynamic renal Technetium-99 m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) scintigraphy and TACs of kidneys; the perirenal background and the left ventricle were determined. SF was calculated on the basis of integrals over the TACs, MTT was determined from renal retention functions after deconvolution analysis, and OE was determined from MTT. Values obtained from PET series were compared with scintigraphic parameters, which served as the reference. Results Twenty-four subjects underwent both examinations. Total kidney SF, MTT, and OE as estimated by dynamic PET/MRI correlated to their reference values by r = 0.75, r = 0.74 and r = 0.81, respectively, with significant difference (p |
