ABSTRACT

The primary advantage of macroaggregated albumin incorporating particles of technetium-sulfur suspension as a radiodiagnostic agent in lung scintiscans is the simplicity with which it is prepared. This preparation requires only a minimum of laboratory equipment and expense plus few steps to achieve an efficient diagnostic agent. The quality of the lung scintiscan in animals is excellent. It is possible that this agent will be very useful as a tracer in human lung scans.
