[Results of hepatic scintigraphy with a new colloid (99mTc-Sn-Antipyrine D 77 1268) compared with 99mTc-Sn-phytate (author's transl)].

Liver scans were performed on 84 patients, using a new colloidal substance 99mTc-Sn-Antipyrine colloid, and compared with 36 liver scans with 99mTc-Sn-phytate under identical conditions. The following differences were found: 99mTc-Antipyrine uptake in the spleen was higher in comparison with 99mTc-phytate, renal excretion was twenty times lower. The tin content was less then one fifth in the Sn-Antipyrine preparation. Antipyrine yields simultaneous imaging of liver and spleen even in normal patients.
