1. What MAG3 Technescan is and what it is used for

This medicine is for diagnostic use only.

MAG3 Technescan is used with a gamma camera to examine:

  • the kidneys
  • urine production
  • the bladder

This medicine is a powder. When qualified persons mix it with a solution of a radioactive substance, sodium pertechnetate (99mTc), it forms technetium (99mTc) mertiatide. When injected into the body, it accumulates in certain organs, such as the kidneys.

The radioactive substance can be photographed from outside the body using special cameras that produce a scintigram. This scintigram shows the distribution of radioactivity within the organ and the body. It also provides the doctor with valuable information about the structure and function of the organ.

Administration of MAG3 Technescan in combination with sodium pertechnetate (99mTc) involves receiving a small amount of radioactivity. Your nuclear medicine doctor has considered that the clinical benefit you will obtain from the procedure with the radiopharmaceutical outweighs the risk of radiation.
