Renogram

Tc-99m MAG3 flow-and-function renography as a living Maggoo journey — baseline vs diuretic (Lasix) protocol, hydration/medication holds, synthetic curve interpretation, and board-style questions.

Preparation

Facts follow the protocol selected under Image acquisition (Baseline vs Lasix diuretic). Values are typical MAG3 renogram teaching ranges.

Image acquisition

Top-down facility view. Maggoo follows the baseline MAG3 protocol: check-in → hydrate/void in the dose room → IV bolus injected on-camera → continuous supine dynamic imaging → post-void image → departure.

Image interpretation

Open-access clinical MAG3 renogram images (Radiopaedia, CC BY-NC-SA) for normal, obstructed, and captopril-workup patterns, with synthetic time-activity-curve schematics for ATN, reflux, and artifact cards. Wired captopril stills are the baseline (pre-captopril) series from those cases.

ABR practice questions

Board-style items on MAG3 physiology, diuretic-protocol timing, hydration effects, the captopril-renogram pearl, and curve interpretation.
