[Study of distribution of 203Hg-chlormerodrin, 203Hg-nitrate and 99mTc-DMSA in kidney by macroautoradiography (author's transl)].
Serial macroautoradiograms were obtained to determine the distribution of 203Hg-chlormerodrin, 203Hg-nigrate and 99mTc-DMSA in kidney. In the study, normal rats were used and these three radiopharmaceuticals were injected intravenously. Initial images of 203Hg-chlormerodrin showed the accumulation in the outer cortex, but no significant radioactivity in the medullary. On the other hand, delayed images revealed radioactivity shifting in concentration from the outer cortex to the inner cortex. Distribution pattern of 203Hg-nitrate was similar to that of 203Hg-chlormerodrin. In contrast to 203Hg-chlormerodrin and 203Hg-nitrate, 99mTc-DMSA was retained in the outer cortex without temporal changes in the distribution.
