Extrarenal uptake of Tc-99m-DTPA in a case of retroperitoneal abscess causing spurious data in renal function assessment.

abstract：:Eight patients were inadvertently administered, and imaged with, 99mTc-labeled MDP which was 45 months expired. Two cases are presented. All patients were subsequently imaged with normal MDP. The images obtained with expired MDP were clinically acceptable. No differences in scan abnormalities were observed compared wi...
