Methods: A 2-min image acquired 1 min after MAG3 administration, named a cortical uptake phase (CUP) image, was visually analyzed according to standardized semiquantitative guidelines.

Scintigraphic findings in renal vein thrombosis (RVT) have been well described on studies performed with Tc-99m DPTA, Tc-99m glucoheptonate, and I-131 orthoiodohippurate. The authors could find no reports of RVT findings on Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) imaging. Tc-99m MAG3 renal scintigraphy in an infant with RVT because of Finnish-type congenital nephrotic syndrome is described.
