This case reports an instance of increased liver and spleen uptake with 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid believed to be a result of chlorhexidine-mediated colloid labeling. This finding underscores the principle that certain constituents of antiseptics may adversely affect the purity of radiopharmaceuticals during their preparation. %U https://tech.snmjournals.org/content/jnmt/49/3/290.full.pdf
