Technetium-99m-labelled diethyl-acetanilido-iminodiacetate: a new hepatobiliary agent. A preliminary report. 1977

H S Tjen, and W B van der Pompe, and P H Cox

A new hepatobiliary reagent 99Tcm diethyl-acetanilido-iminodiacetate has been examined in a small group of patients to evaluate its potential as a clinical reagent. The radiopharmaceutical accumulated readily in the hepatocytes and was rapidly excreted via the biliary system. It would appear possible to develop a dynamic test of hepatocyte function coupled with an evaluation of the patency of the biliary system. No adverse reactions were observed.

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.
