Renal scan

  • QC
  • Check MG
  • Prompt cortical peak 2-3 min (TcMAG3)
  • Make sure the curve shape is the same for the cortex and whole kidney (on the one with 2 graphs)
  • Mild asymmetry is okay if the split is 47%-53%, but once you get to like 45-55 split that's asymmetric and abnormal
  • Cortical peak and washout
Pediatric scan with Lasix
  • Cortical curves might not be great due to the small kidneys
