Show affiliationsUsing a particular collimated NaI scintillation detector and a kidney phantom containing 131I, the dependence of the resulting count rates on collimator-kidney geometry has been determined. These results have been used to calculate the geometrical contribution to the error in the measurement of relative effective renal plasma flow (RFP) by 131I-Hippuran renography. Combination of this error with that from natural movement and statistical fluctuations, as observed using a dose of 10 mu Ci 131I-Hippuran, has led to the estimation of a corresponding potential error of 11%. Values of the potential error which is defined as the 99% probability range, have been calculated covering the range of RFP.
