Theoretical Considerations in the Preparation of Tc-99m MAA for Pulmonary Perfusion Studies

Abstract

The results of theoretical calculations in the preparation of Tc-99m MAA for lung perfusion studies using MAA from various commercial manufacturers combined with eluate from various size technetium generators are considered. Kit-generator incompatabilities based on specific activities are specified. Percent of elution yields required to prepare a particular product preparation are calculated.
