A number of radionuclides of interest in nuclear medicine are short lived isotopes that emit only gamma ray. The most of all Dept. of Nuclear Medicine in the hospt. are using the $^{99}Mo-^{99m}Tc$ generator for elution of the short lived isotope $^{99m}TcO_4$. A $^{99}Mo-^{99m}Tc$ generator consists of an alumina column on which $^{99}Mo$ is bound. The parent isotope($^{99}Mo$ : half life 67 hr.) decays to its daughter $^{99m}TcO_4^-$ which is a different element with a shorter half-life. $^{99}Mo$ emitted 41-keV(1.3%), 141-keV(5.6%) 181-keV(6.6%) and 366-keV(1.5%) gamma rays. But $^{99m}TcO_4$ emitted only 140-keV gamma ray. We study about the gamma ray distribution around the $^{99}Mo$ generator. And obtained the result as follows ; 1. Total counted gamma ray from generator smaller in front side than back. 2. The gamma ray emitted from $^{99}Mo$ generator without $^{99m}TcO_4$ vial increased in the back side(Mo column posited side) 3. The gamma ray only from the $^{99m}TcO_4$ vial increased in the front side. 4. Apron can protect gamma ray above 60% of total radiation from the $^{99}Mo$ generator.

핵의학 검사는 반감기로 인한 동위원소의 잔류로 당일에 두 가지 검사를 시행하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구는 $^{18}F$-FDG와 $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$의 상호 영향을 연구함으로써 당일 검사를 진행할 경우 고려될 사항에 대해 알아보고자 한다. NEMA-1994 Phantom을 이용하여 세 번의 실험을 진행했다. 첫 실험은 $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$을 HOT과 BKG 비 4:1로 만들어 GE사의 INFINIA 장비로 SPECT를 시행하였고, BKG 영역에 $^{18}F$-FDG 37 MBq을 주입 후 동일 조건으로 60분에 1회씩 13회 Scan 했다. 두 번째는 $^{18}F$-FDG를 HOT과 BKG 비 4:1 로 만들어 GE사의 PET/CT Discovery 600 에서 Scan 하였고, BKG 영역에 $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$을 148 MBq 주입 후 동일 조건으로 60분에 1회씩 6회 Scan 했다. 마지막 실험은 $^{18}F$-FDG를 HOT과 BKG 비 4 : 1로 만들고 1 Bed Scan 후 $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$을 148 MBq 및 296 MBq씩 증가 시키며 같은 조건으로 1 Bed Scan했다. HOT과 BKG 영역의 비, CNR 혹은 SNR 그리고 총 획득 계수를 측정 후 비교 했다. $^{18}F$-FDG는 SPECT 시행 시 비율 및 CNR에 유의한 차이를 보였다(p>0.05). $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$는 PET/CT 시행 시 비율 및 SNR이 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p<0.05). $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$이 PET/CT 검사의 Total Counts를 감소시킨다는 결과를 획득했다. PET/CT 검사를 한 경우 12시간 까지도 $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$을 이용한 검사에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$를 먼저 시행한 경우에는 PET/CT 검사에 SUV 및 SNR에 영향은 없지만 검출 효율을 감소시켰다. 당일 검사 시에는 $^{99m}TcO_4{^-}$을 이용한 검사를 먼저 진행하고 PET/CT의 검사 시간을 늘려 검출 효율을 보완하는 방법을 권장하고자 한다.

Radionuclide angiography of the liver and spleen with rapid bolus injection of 5 mCi of $^{99m}Tc-Sn-phytate$ was performed for evaluation of dynamic flow change of the liver in 5 normal subjects and 11 patients with diffuse hepatocellular diseases. And quantification of hepatic arterial index (HAI) was generated from those TACs of the liver and compared with HAI generated from hepatic TAC with injection of $^{99m}Tc-TcO_4^-$ as previously reported method by former investigators, 67 patients with diffuse hepatocellular diseases undergoing hepatic scintigraphy were also evaluated by 2 minutes-hepatosplenic scintiangiography with 5 mCi of $^{99m}Tc-phytate$ and followed injection of 7 mCi of $^{99m}Tc-TcO_4^-$. Those heaptic and splenic TACs were analysed and compared with HAIs of 99m Tc-phytate for evaluation of relative change (%) of count at 30 seconds and 1 minuite after peaks of rapid influx phase to the peaks (100%) in T ACs of $^{99m}Tc-phytate$ and at 1 minuite and 3 minuites after in 5 minuite-TAC of $^{99m}Tc-TcO_4^-$. Correlation between HAIs with $^{99m}Tc-phytate$ and $^{99m}Tc-TcO_4^-$ was highly significant (R=0,984, P=0), and there was most significant and useful correlation (R=0,708, p<0.0001) between HAI and splenic TAC generated by $^{99m}Tc-phytate$.

To radiolabel bioactive molecules, we synthesized $^{99m}$Tc-tricarbonyl precursor, [$^{99m}$Tc(CO)$_3$($H_2O$)$_3$]$^{+}$ with a low oxidation state ( I ). The [$^{99m}$Tc(CO)$_3$($H_2O$)$_3$]$^{+}$ was prepared by low pressure carbonylation (1 atm of CO) of [$^{99m}$Tc $O_4$)]$^{[-10]}$ in the presence of NaB $H_4$ resulting in higher than 98% of labeling yield and stability up to 8 hrs. We evaluated the characteristics of $^{99m}$Tc- tricarbonyl labeled bioactive molecules by carrying out in vitro and in vitro study. Prepared [$^{99m}$Tc(CO)$_3$($H_2O$)$_3$]$^{+}$ was then reacted with some ligands of significance in modem diagnostic nuclear medicine and some amino acids. Labeling yields were checked by HPLC and found to be usually high, excluding $^{99m}$Tc-tricarbonyl-MDP, -EDTMP and -mIBG. And the biodistribution properties of $^{99m}$Tc-tricarbonyl complexes applied in rabbit showed different appearance comparing with that of the $^{99m}$Tc-labeling by conventional means. From these results, we conclude that [$^{99m}$Tc(CO)$_3$($H_2O$)$_3$]$^{+}$ is a potential precursor for development of radiopharmaceuticals, especially for labeling of biomolecules.

Thyroid imaging was performed in 53 hyperthyroid cats with technetium-99m as pertechnetate($^{99m}TcO_{4}$). Increased radionuclide accumulation was found in all cats. Thirty-four cats had bilateral enlargements of the thyroid glands and 14 cats had unilateral enlargements. Five cats had multi-focal accumulation of $^{99m}TcO_{4}$ in the ventral neck or mediastinum. Conclusively, nuclear thyroid image is useful method in diagnosis of feline hyperthyroidism.

$Technetium-^{99m}$ labeling method using bifunctional chelating agent cyclic DTPA has been evaluated with human polyclonal nonspecific IgG. IgG was conjugated with cyclic DTPA with various molar ratio. Reduction of $^{99m}Tc$ was done with $Na_2S_2O_4$ with various molar excess. Labeling efficiency and identification of polymer was confirmed with HPLC using TSK4000 SW column. Polymer was purified with 100 cm Sepharose 6LB column. Cultured $1{\times}10^9$ Staphylococcus aureus were injected into rat thigh 24 hours later labeled IgG was injected, and in vivo distribution was observed 4 and 24 hours thereafter. Reduction of $^{99m}Tc$ was optimal with the 10000-50000 times molar excess of $Na_2S_2O_4$. Polymer formation increased with increasing mloar excess of cyclic DTPA to IgG. Three step labeling-labeling DTPA conjugated IgG after reduction of $^{99m}Tc$-made more polymer than two two step labeling-simultaneous mixing DTPA conjugated IgG, $^{99m}Tc$ and $Na_2S_2O_4$. $^{99m}Tc$ blood clearance and lower uptake in the abscess and other organs. IgG conjugated with 200 times molar excess of cyclic DTPA showed slower blood clearance with 200 times molar excess of cyclic DTPA showed slower blood clearance than that of 200 times molar excess of cyclic DTPA showed slower blood clearance than that of 20 times molar excess. In the $^{99m}Tc$ labeling of IgG with cyclic DTPA for the immunoscintigraphy, obtimal labeling condition should be chosen, and effect of the $^{99m}Tc$ labeled IgG polymer should be considered.

$^{99m}Tc-Methionine$ complexes from enantiomeric and racemic methionines were prepared controlling reaction parameters such as pH and the concentration of stannous chloride. Some radiochromato-graphic systems were also examined to determine the labelling yields of $^{99m}Tc$ complexes. The best resolutions of $^{99m}Tc$ complexes were obtained at ITLC-SA developed with acetone and paper chromatography with n-butanol saturated with 0.3N HCI. In the former system, $HR-{99m}Tc$ and $^{99m}Tc-methionine$ complex remained at origin, while $^{99m}TcO_4^-$ moved with Rf value of 1.0. In latter process, $HR-^{99m}Tc$ stayed at the origin, while $^{99m}TcO_4^-\;and\;^{99m}Tc-methionine$ complexes moved with Rf value of 0.5. By combining of two chromatographic systems, the contents of three $^{99m}Tc$ species were calculated easily. $^{99m}Tc$ Labelling from enantiomeric and racemic methionines had little differences and the optimal condition was found at pH 9.00 and the molar ratio of methionine to stannous chloride of 24:1. The yields of $^{99m}Tc$ complexes from D-, L-, and DL-methionines were 87.6%, 94.1%, and 97.9%, respectively. The results indicated that methionine containing relatively hydrophobic methylthio group $(-SCH_3)$ would be labelled with $^{99m}Tc$ by stannous chloride method.

Thyroid scans using $Na^{131}I\;and\;^{99m}TcO_4^-$ in two (anterior and anterior oblique) projections were done simultaneously in 50 patients with single palpable nodule and in euthyroid state(nodular nontoxic goiter) and 20 normal subjects to evaluate the imaging ability of each radionuclide and the necessity of oblique view. In detection of a nodule as a cold or cool area, $^{99m}TcO_4^-$ was slightly superior to $^{131}I$(82 % to 78% with anterior view alone, 92% to 84% when oblique view is added in detectability), with addition of an oblique view, 5 more cold or cool area in $^{99m}Tc$ scan and 3 more $^{131}I$ scan were detected. In normal subjects $^{99m}TcO_4^-$ scan was significantly superior to $^{131}I$ scan(90% to 70%) in getting normal pattern of tracer uptake in the glands. For routine imaging study of the thyroid, $^{99m}Tc$ pertechnetate scan with multiple projection is considered to be a preferable method.
