Experimental Study of a Radiopharmaceutical Agent Based on Modified Fatty Acid Labeled with Technetium-99m

详细

Using rat model of coronary occlusion, we studied pharmacokinetics and the efficiency of a new radiopharmaceutical agent ^99mTc-PDA-DTPA intended for diagnostics of changes in myocardial metabolism and its analogue ¹²³I-PMPDA. ^99mTc-PDA-DTPA was eliminated mostly by the kidneys and maximal concentration in the heart was attained within 60 min after intravenous injection; no accumulation in the area of myocardial infarction was observed. The studied substance was inferior to its analogue 123I-PMPDA by the quality of scintigraphic visualization of the heart.
