Brain tumor-scanning agents compared in an animal model.
Sixteen radiopharmaceuticals for brain tumor localization have been compared in a mouse brain tumor model. A rating system is presented for such intercomparison. The rusults indicate that 111-in-chloride injected at pH 1.5 has the most favorable biologic characterisTICS FOR BRAIN TUMOR IMAGING.
