Assessment of the kidney function parameters split function, mean transit time, and outflow efficiency using dynamic FDG-PET/MRI in healthy subjects
Tóm tắt
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). 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. 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 < 0.0001) between the means of MTT and OE. No correlations were found for cortex FDG values. The study proofs the concept that SF, MTT, and OE can be estimated with dynamic FDG PET/MRI scans in healthy kidneys. This has advantages for patients receiving a routine PET/MRI scan, as kidney parameters can be estimated simultaneously to functional and morphological imaging with high accuracy.
