◆ 99m
Tc labeled red blood cell(99m Tc-RBC)
◆ The labeling methods include two kind technic
; in vitro and in vivo.The in vitro method is
rarely used today for it's complicated
procedure and the latter is often used in clinics
now.
◆ The in vivo method involes the injection of
approximately 1mg stannous ion (usually in the
form of stannous pyrophosphate,PYP)
◆ Intravenously to prime the red blood
cells,follows at about 30min by 15-20mCi
99m
Tc-pertechnetate to label the erythrocytes.
◆ The modified in vivo approach provides a
higher labeling efficiency than the in vitro
method without the usual requirement for
centrifugation of the cells .
