Description

This paper describes the preparation and characteristics of a sup(195m)Hg-sup(195m)Au generator for clinical use in first-pass radionuclide angiography of the heart. The generator has an efficiency of elution of 20-30% which is maintained over the whole of its useful life. Over 100 patients have taken part in clinical trials with the generator. (author)
