Abstract
A comparison of Tc-99m-labeled human serum albumin (HSA) and in vitro labeled red blood cells (RBC) was carried out in five subjects. The disappearance of radioactivity from the blood was more rapid for HSA (T 1/2, 281.6 minutes, range 202.1--318.3) than for RBC (T 1/2, 1719.8 minutes, range 767.6--5059.5). Urinary excretion was twice as great for HSA. Ratios of activity in heart blood pool to lung and liver were considerably greater for RBC up to 2 hours after administration. The results indicate that labeled RBC are superior to labeled HSA for blood pool imaging.Entities:
