  • Title: Assessment of skeletal uptake of 99mTc-diphosphonate over a five day period.
    Author: Fogelman I, Martin W.
    Journal: Eur J Nucl Med; 1983; 8(11):489-90. PubMed ID: 6653609.
    Abstract:
    A new method for the sequential monitoring of skeletal uptake of 99mTc-diphosphonate over a 5-day period, utilising both a gamma camera and whole-body monitor, is presented. It has been found that diphosphonate continues to be removed from bone over this period. Normal subjects appear to lose skeletal activity initially at a more rapid rate than those with altered skeletal metabolism and it is suggested that differences in binding characteristics may exist.
