Implication

Preclinical and clinical evaluation demonstrates effective bone metastasis detection in patients, highlighting a viable imaging alternative to fluorine-18.

Key Points

Evaluate the potential of a synthetic linear long-chain polyphosphate complexed with technetium-99m as a radiopharmaceutical agent for skeletal imaging.
Conducted preliminary animal tissue radio-assays and imaging studies to assess skeletal uptake and biodistribution.
Performed rectilinear scanning and gamma camera imaging to evaluate skeletal metastases in clinical subjects.
Demonstrated clear visualization of skeletal metastases using both rectilinear scanners and gamma cameras.
Produced skeletal scan quality comparable to images obtained with fluorine-18 without numerical metrics reported.
