Preparing the preparation
- 2 - 8 ml of the eluate from the technetium-99m generator are introduced into the vial with lyophilizate by puncturing a rubber plug with a syringe needle;
- It is forbidden to use an air needle;
- if necessary, dilute the eluate with 0.9% Sodium chloride solution to the required volume activity value;
- vial vigorously shaken 2-4 times, placed in a lead container and kept in a container for 15-20 minutes, periodically shaking;
- under these conditions, the labeled 99m Tc albuminal macroaggregates intended for lung scintigraphy. The drug is ready for use.
The injected dose is 1.7 MBq / kg of body weight of the patient. One bottle of the finished product can be used to study 5 patients.
The patient is examined in prone position. The gamma camera detector is placed as close to the body surface as possible so that both light in the front and rear projections are included in the field of view of the sensor.The collection of information for planar studies is carried out in a static mode before dialing from 300,000 to 500,000 pulses. In the case of performing emission tomography, studies are performed in a dynamic mode with a set of 100,000 - 150,000 pulses per projection.
Evaluation of the results of the study is carried out on the basis of qualitative and quantitative analysis of scintigrams (location, size, shape, homogeneity of the distribution of the drug in the pulmonary artery system, the ratio of the affected and intact parts of the lung tissue). It is also advisable to compare the results obtained with the functional parameters of external respiration and a radioisotope study of pulmonary ventilation.
The drug is administered intravenously in an amount of 37-148 MBq, depending on the equipment used.
The amount of particles in the administered dose should be 250-300 thousand.
