(K for kidneys, U for ureter, B for bladder, and WC for the
tube collecting the urine). SRCT images of transverse slices
recorded at various times after injection of Au@DTDTPA-Gd
to a rat, including (b) kidneys and (c) bladder (slice thickness:
1 mm). SRCT images of a series of successive transverse slices,
