Abstract
99mTc-Phosphomycin, a new radiopharmaceutical for kidney visualization, was used for animal experiments and tests of 171 patients. The results confirmed the usefulness of this product. The ease and yield of the labelling procedure, the low cost of the product, the excellent quality of the images and the functional information obtained showed that the use of 99mTc-phosphomycin as a radiopharmaceutical for kidney visualization has many advantages.
