Bone lesion detection with carrier-added 99mTc-EDTMP in comparison with 99mTc-DPD.

abstract：:The therapeutic or surgical management of acute localized irradiation is very complicated due to the delayed occurrence of ionizing radiation effects. There is a great need for non-invasive imaging techniques to delineate healthy from exposed tissues. Such a technique should be of value considering that spread of dama...
