Variations in regional renal blood flow have been implicated in a variety of disease states. Many techniques have been developed in an attempt to accurately assess these changes. The microsphere technique is the most widely used method at the present time. This technique allows focal measurements to be performed, but there is a conflict between the resolution of the method and the number of microspheres necessary in each sample. New imaging techniques such as tomography and autoradiography enable visual assessment of renal blood flow. Though there is no ideal method, these techniques have opened up new possibilities in the quantification of regional renal blood flow.
