Investigative study of radiopharmaceuticals useful for imaging skeletal muscle injury in experimental animals

Description

An experimental animal model for studying skeletal muscle injury is described. Tc-99m PYP is accumulated on the skeletal muscle injury, but its uptake on the adjacent bone obscures its usefulness in delineating the extent of the muscle injury. In-111 antimyosin accumulates and delineates the extent of the skeletal muscle injury and does not accumulate on the adjacent bone. Hence, In-111 antimyosin is a good radiopharmaceutical for studying the severity and prognosis of skeletal muscle injury
