INTERACTION OF RADIOTRACERS IN THE NEPHRON

            The figure shows 3 important groups of radiotracers based on the kinetic kidney handling. Those in first place with predominant effective renal plasma flow, represented currently by 99mTc-MAG-3; in second place the ones with tubular uptake, outstanding 99mTc-DMSA and thirdly those with glomerular filtration, represented by 99mTc-DTPA.
