Fig. 2. —Three-compartment model shows contrast medium distribution in kidney. Contrast medium is injected into vascular space. Bidirectional flow into and out of interstitial space is proportional to difference in contrast medium concentration between two compartments. Unidirectional contrast medium flow from vascular space into nephron is proportional to plasma concentration (i.e., clearance definition). Parameter definitions are given in Appendix 1.
