| Abstract |
99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) is a new renal radiopharmaceutical which has been shown to have biological properties similar to 131I-hippurate (OIH) in animals and volunteers. 99mTc-MAG3 has now been compared with 131I-orthoiodohippurate (OIH) in a group of patients with varying degrees of renal impairment. In all cases, the 99mTc-MAG3 images were superior regardless of serum creatinine. Selected examples are illustrated including scans and renogram curves in a normal volunteer, transplant patients with creatinines of 9.8 mg/dl and 2.6 mg/dl respectively, and a furosemide study in a patient with questionable obstruction. Our preliminary results suggest that 99mTc-MAG3 performs well in patients with impaired renal function and may well provide an acceptable replacement for OIH. A kit formulation has been developed and will soon be undergoing clinical evaluation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 August 2021.
All research outputs
#5,447,195
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
#682
of 3,517 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,503
of 11,567 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
#1
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,517 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 11,567 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
