Comparison of Two Systems for the Quantification of Technetium-99m Radiochromatography Procedures

Abstract

The use of the dose calibrator and a radiochromatogram scanner were evaluated for the quantification of radiochromatography procedures performed on ^99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals. Reproducibility of measurements was significantly better using the dose calibrator technique. This factor, combined with reduced time and cost considerations, warrants the routine use of the dose calibrator for the quantification of radiochromatography procedures.
