Fractioning and control of 201 Tl chloride for clinical use
- 1. Sao Paulo Univ., SP (Brazil). Faculdade de Medicina
Description
Heart scintigraphy with 201 Tl chloride is largely used to study myocardial perfusion in several diseases as a fundamental tool in clinical or surgical approaches. Due to the high price of 201 Tl chloride, the Centro de Medicina Nuclear decided to import such a radionuclide in bulk form in order to reduce the price of individual doses, making the method more accessible to the medical community in the whole country. This paper describes the efficacy of the fractioning technique as well quality control of the thallium-201 furnished by this Institution, performed in 117 shipments. (author)
