Renal function study with 111In-DTPA - In comparison with 99mTc-DTPA.
Technetium-99m-diethylene-triamine-penta-acetic acid (DTPA) and 111In-DTPA were injected simultaneously into 21 patients with various levels of renal function. Scintiphoto, camera data renograms and clearance values (plasma sampling) were obtained for each patient.

Effect of delayed acquisition times on Gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the presumably normal canine brain [PDF]
A delay in imaging following intravenous contrast medium administration has been recommended to reduce misdiagnoses. However, the normal variation of contrast enhancement in dogs following a delay has not been characterized.
