99mTc-Labelled serum albumin in cardiac output and blood volume studies

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The use of human serum albumin labelled with iodine-131 (RIHSA) as the radioactive indicator in the measurement of cardiac output by the external counting technique is not ideal since the emission characteristics, physical half-life, and physiological fate restrict the amount that can be administered. A more suitable material, especially because of the short physical half-life of the isotope involved, is albumin labelled with technetium-99m.
