Different methods for the detection of small changes in uptake between single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) examinations: 99mTc-sestamibi in chemotherapy for breast tumours.

abstract：:The biodistribution of two stereoisomeric 99Tcm complexes derived from diastereomeric dimercaptosuccinic acids (DMSA), 99Tcm-dl-DMSA and 99Tcm-meso-DMSA, was examined in sarcoma 180 tumour-bearing mice. The biodistribution pattern of meso-complex was not significantly different from 99Tc(V)m-DMSA, a new tumour imaging...
