abstract：:Reconstituted exametazime is inherently unstable due to the rapid oxidation of the small amount (7.6 micrograms) of stannous chloride present in the kit. A novel approach has been used to improve the shelf-life of reconstituted exametazime based on the premise that tin lost through oxidation should be replaced by furt...
