Liver-Spleen Visualization Following Aerosol Lung Ventilation with Technetium-99m DTPA

In addition to lung distribution, a Tc-99m DTPA aerosol study also revealed prominent hepatic and splenic uptake. These images suggest the presence of colloidal forms of Tc-99m and thus illustrate the necessity of rigorous radiopharmaceutical quality control, particularly if clearance times are calc...

Zusammenfassung:	In addition to lung distribution, a Tc-99m DTPA aerosol study also revealed prominent hepatic and splenic uptake. These images suggest the presence of colloidal forms of Tc-99m and thus illustrate the necessity of rigorous radiopharmaceutical quality control, particularly if clearance times are calculated.
