Description

The late effect of gamma radiation on blood clearance of 99mTc-sodium pertechnetate (99mTc-SP) in rats was examined. The disappearance rate of 99mTc-SP from blood decreased with the increase in dose of ionizing radiation. Changes of the blood clearance of 99mTc-SP after irradiation treatment in rats may be influenced by the disorder in the hepatocytes rather than in the bile ductule cells. The blood clearance test of 99mTc-SP in rats showed a sensitive reaction for the acute hepatic dysfunction induced by gamma radiation. (author)
