FIGURE 1. Conjugate views from whole-body scans of 22-y-old male volunteer. Scans were acquired at about 30 min (A) and 24 h (B) after intravenous injection of 263 MBq of 99mTc-HYNIC-AnxV. In each pair, anterior view is on left and posterior view is on right.

FIGURE 2. Decay-corrected 99mTc uptake vs. time curves for liver (A), left kidney (B), spleen (C), and total body (D) after intravenous injection of 99mTc-HYNIC-AnxV. Curves representing mean (thick line) and mean ± 1 SD (thin lines) are shown. For comparison, curves representing average uptake for 99mTc-i-AnxV (dotted line) and 99mTc-BTAP-AnxV (dashed line) from previous studies are also shown (9,10).
