Gallium-67-labelled red blood cells as a blood-pool marker for dual-isotope imaging
1Department of Nuclear Medicine, Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Abstract:
Red blood cells were labelled with 67Ga oxine prepared from 67Ga citrate, a routinely available and relatively inexpensive radiopharmaceutical which is suitable for dual-isotope imaging with 99mTc. Labelling efficiency was 88 +/- 1%, 24-h in vitro stability was 93 +/- 5% in saline at room temperature and 68 +/- 4% in whole blood at 37 degrees C, and the method could be performed within 20-30 min.
