Iron-dextran enhancement of 67Ga-concentration in abscess relative to normal tissue.
Iron-dextran (Imferon) significantly increases the concentration of 67Ga in abscess relative to muscle, when given intravenously to abscess bearing rabbits 24 hr after intravenous, carrier-free 67Ga-citrate. This increase is achieved by accelerating the clearance of 67Ga from the blood.
