Iodine-123 labelled ortho-Iodohippuric Acid (\[I-123\]-OIH) was used in the early 1970's as a kidney imaging agent or tracer that "lights-up" inside your body when scanned, but over the years its use has declined. The most commonly used tracer is Technetium-99m labelled Mercaptoacetyltriglycine (\[Tc-99m\]-Mertiatide or \[Tc-99m\]-MAG3). However, long-term shortages may threaten the supply of the radioactive substance Tc-99m in Canada and the world. As a result of such shortages, there is a need to identify other types of tracers that can be used for imaging. \[I-123\]-OIH may be an alternative. The purpose of this study is to examine the diagnostic performance characteristics of \[I-123\]-OIH in comparison to \[Tc-99m\]-MAG3. Conditions: Renal Function Impairment.
