Analytical Techniques for the Determination of Radiochemical Purity of Radiopharmaceuticals Prepared from Kits. Pt. 3. Technetium 99M Labelled Colloids

摘要

The evaluation of efficacy of commercially available kits used for the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals is one aspect of the Radiation Protection Bureau's radiopharmaceutical quality control program. This report describes some of the analytical methodology employed in the program. The techniques may be of interest to hospital radiopharmacy personnel since many of the tests can be performed rapidly and with a minimum of special equipment, thus enabling the confirmation of radiopharmaceutical purity prior to patient administration. Manufacturers of kits may also be interested in learning of the analytical methods used in the assessment of their products. (Atomindex citation 15:061575)
