The purpose of this study was to document the extent of adhesion of 99mTc-sestamibi to
syringes in patient procedures, determine factors that influence the degree of adhesion, and …

This perspective article addresses the critical issue of container-content interactions in the
administration of intravenous medications, with a focus on radiopharmaceuticals used in …

Background Residual activity in dispensing syringes is a problem that has been sporadically
reported with various radiopharmaceuticals. Studies with [99m Tc] Tc-tetrofosmin are non …

Background: Technetium-99m radioisotope is the backbone of any nuclear medicine
institute. It is well known that various 99mTclabeled radiopharmaceuticals may get absorbed …

Background Multiple disposable syringe designs are available both with and without
silicone lubricant. Tc99m sestamibi variably adheres to certain syringe designs. In practice …

Abstract 99m Tc-dimercaptosuccinic acid [DMSA (III)] and colloidal human serum albumin
(99m Tc-nanocolloid) are widely used radiopharmaceuticals. Recently, in our institution we …

Materials and methods A number of commonly used 99m Tc-labelled radiopharmaceuticals
including 99m Tc-pertechnetate, 99m Tc-methylenediphosphonic acid, 99m Tc …

It has been widely reported that 99mTc-succimer adsorbs to plastic syringes significantly (up
to 50%), often resulting in a lower administered dose than intended or inaccurate dosing …

The phenomenon of adsorption of several 99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals onto disposable
syringes is common knowledge and can reach a level of up to 50%, with the result being …

Background Injectable radioactive iodine (I‐131) frequently is used to treat hyperthyroidism
in cats. In human medicine, residual activity after injection of radionuclides has been …
