Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>BackgroundChanges in renal blood flow (RBF) may play a pathophysiological role in hypertension and kidney disease. However, RBF determination in humans has proven difficult. We aimed to confirm the feasibility of RBF estimation based on positron emission tomography/ computed tomography (PET/CT) and rubidium-82 (<sup>82</sup>Rb) using the abdominal aorta as input function in a 1-tissue c...
