Description

Technetium-99 was determined in nine human liver samples collected from autopsy of the subjects at the Niigata Prefecture Institute for Cancer Research Hospital. Even by using a very sensitive analytical procedure 99Tc was detected in only one human liver sample. Though 99Tc was detected in only one liver, nonetheless it is very important to study its distribution in the human body because of the contribution from fallout of nuclear weapons tests and prevalent use of 99mTc in nuclear medicine.
