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 …

Background It is well known that various drugs, including radiopharmaceuticals, may adsorb
to plastic syringes to different extents. Some reports suggest that adsorption can reach levels …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the adsorption behavior of some
widely used, commercially available 99mTc radiopharmaceuticals onto different types of …

Many groups have reported the adsorption or retention of 99mTc-radiopharmaceuticals on
injection vials and disposable plastic syringes. Such an enormously high loss of radioactivity …

It is common practice to dispense radiopharmaceuticals into empty sterile vials for dispatch
to the departments where they are to be administered. It has been noted that on withdrawal …

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

Objective: Measurement of cardiac perfusion via agents such as 99mTc-sestamibi
(Cardiolite; DuPont-Merck Pharmaceutical Co., Inc.) is widely used in clinical nuclear …

Our nuclear pharmacy noted that 99mTc-sestamibi kits sometimes failed radiochemical
purity (RCP) testing (ie, RCP< 90%). All failed kits had been prepared with eluate from a …

Our nuclear pharmacy has reported that a failed radiochemical purity (RCP)(ie, RCP< 90%)
of 99mTc-sestamibi may be associated with the use of a first elution at later stages from a …

Objective: To determine and compare the stability of 99mTc-ECD and stabilized 99mTc-
HMPAO when stored in syringes over an 8-h period. Methods: 99mTc-ECD and stabilized …
