99mTc-MAG3 Renogram Radiation Doses
The table shows the absorved radiation doses by most important body tissues for 99mTc-MAG-3, expressed in Rad or mGray per mCi or MBq, respectively. It also displays the adult effective dose in terms of Rem or mSv per mCi or MBq, respectively. Note that the critical organ is the Bladder. If a dose of 5 mCi or 185 MBq is injected then the effective dose would be of 0,13 Rem or 1,29 mSv per study, respectively.
