Abstract
This chapter discusses three nuclear medicine studies with quantitative measurements that do not fit into the preceding chapters. These are the Cystogram - Direct Study with Tc-99m-DTPA, which includes the measurement of post-void residual bladder volume; the Cisternogram with In-111-DTPA, which may include quantification of cerebrospinal fluid leaks into the nasal cavity; and the GLOFIL® Study with I-125-iothalamate that measures renal clearance with blood samples rather than images. In addition, the body surface area normalization assessment algorithm, which is a general method to determine whether an equation that measures a biologic function needs to be normalized for body surface area (BSA), is discussed.
