Clinical comparison of 99mTc-labeled preformed phytate colloid and sulfur colloid: concise communication. 1977

A Arzoumanian, and L Rosenthall, and H Seto

An in vitro preformed colloid preparation of 99mTc-Sn-phytate was compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with a commercial 99mTc-sulfur colloid kit in 30 patients. The degree of liver and spleen deposition of radiocolloid was, for practical purposes, the same. A slightly higher background was visually noted in 33% of the patients receiving preformed colloidal 99mTc-Sn-phytate, but it did not interfere with the diagnostic quality of the liver and spleen images. The only advantage of the phytate compound was a preparation time of less than 5 min.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D003102	Colloids	Two-phase systems in which one is uniformly dispersed in another as particles small enough so they cannot be filtered or will not settle out. The dispersing or continuous phase or medium envelops the particles of the discontinuous phase. All three states of matter can form colloids among each other.	Hydrocolloids,Colloid,Hydrocolloid
