[Pharmacokinetic substantiation of the use of 111In-citrate in bone marrow studies]

Soviet radiopharmaceutical 111In-citrin has been studied to define its possible application for marrow visualization. 111In-citrin has been shown to accumulate in the red marrow, parenchymal organs and to be excreted from animal organism by urinary system predominately. 111In-citrin has advantages in defining the nuclide concentrations in marrow blood and serum as compared with colloid preparations and 111In-chloride. 111In-citrin is supposed to be an adequate radiopharmaceutical preparation for visualization of the red marrow.
