The parameters of renogram (Tmax, T1/2, T2/3) and 2-3 min renal uptake rate with 99mTc-MDP in 10 patients with no renal dysfunction were compared with those with 99mTC-DTPA in 5 patients with normal renal function. The parameters and renal uptake rate in the 8 patients except 2 with cardiac and pulmonary disease were analogous to those of 99mTc-DTPA group, Especially renal uptake rate contains the information of kidney and circulation, and can be obtained in a short time. Therefore it may be clinically useful to measure the renal uptake rate of the patient in whom 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy are performed.
