Nuclear Medicine Technology. Progress Report for Quarter Ending September 30, 1978

Description: A unique class of radiopharmaceuticals labeled with the /sup 117m/Sn nuclide has been developed. The attractive properties of /sup 117m/Sn include a 14-day physical half-life and the emission of a single ..gamma..-photon with an optimal energy of 159 keV. A specialized apparatus was designed for the conversion of metallic /sup 117m/Sn to /sup 117m/SnCl/sub 4/ which was subsequently converted to a variety of useful /sup 117m/Sn-labeled organotin intermediates. The availability of this unique app… more

Nuclear Medicine Technology Progress Report for Quarter Ending June 30, 1978.

Description: Progress is reported for the applications of /sup 11/C, /sup 195m/Pt, /sup 75/Se, and /sup 123m/Te. Additional human clinical trials with /sup 11/C-DL-tryptophan and /sup 11/C-l-aminocyclobutane carboxylic acid have been completed. The modified Buecherer-Strecker amino acid synthesis has been used to prepare /sup 11/C-DL-phenylglycine and /sup 11/C-DL-phenylalanine. These two new /sup 11/C-labeled amino acids will be studied as potential tumor localizing agents. Preliminary studies concerning t… more
