Description

Here a new bone marrow imaging agent, 99mTc-polyphase liposomes (99mTc-PL) was reported. It was labelled with 99mTc using the stannous chloride method, the labelling rate was over 95% (n = 20). Imaging studies of the bone marrow in rabbits showed that the bone marrow was visulized at 30 min, and was more distinct at 1 ∼ 3.5 h. Tissue distribution of 99mTc-PL in rabbits (n = 9) revealed that the bone marrow uptake rate of 99mTc-PL was greater than bone uptake rate at three time phases (6.6%, 1.5h, 14%, 3.5h, 5%, 24h versus 0.6%, 1.5h, 0,4%, 3.5h, 0.4%, 24h, P < 0.01). Blood clearence rate was 84% at 45 min, and over 98% at 24 hours. This study shown that 99mTc-PL may be useful as a new bone marrow imaging agent
