There are two major categories of tracers avail able for blood-pool imaging: labeled red
blood cells (RBC) and labeled human serum albumin (HSA). Recently, Pavel and …

We have investigated the suitability of five different commercially available kits which
provide human serum albumin (HSA) labelled with technetium 99m (99m Tc) for cardiac …

The radioisotope blood pool scan has been applied to two principal kinds of problems: the
differential diagnosis of midline masses (1) and, more commonly, the detection of pericardial …

In 25 patients undergoing radiocardiographic determination of ventricular function, three
methods for blood pool imaging were compared. 99m Tc was used to label human serum …

A comparison of Tc-99m-labeled human serum albumin (HSA) and in vitro labeled red blood
cells (RBC) was carried out in five subjects. The disappearance of radioactivity from the …

Technetium-99m HSA, in vitro Tc-99m RBCs, and in vivo Tc-99m RBCs are clinically useful
for cardiac blood pool imaging. The characteristics of each of these radiopharmaceuticals …

CARDIAC blood pool scanning was introduced by Rejali and his associates in 1958 (1).
They described heart blood pool visualization by the isotope scanning method, following …

Technetium-labeled human serum albumin (HSA) is extensively used as a cardiac imaging
agent. An evaluation of the blood-clearance rates of electrolytically reduced HSA (EHSA) …

This study compared cardiac-gated equilibrium blood-pool imaging studies using in vitro
