Biokinetics, dosimetry, and radiation risk in infants after 99mTc-MAG3 scans

Abstract Background Renal scans are among the most frequent exams performed on infants and toddlers. Due to the young age, this patient group can be classified as a high-risk group with a higher probability for developing stochastic radiation effects compared to adults.
