Soft-tissue concentration of 99mTc-phosphates associated with injections of iron dextran complex.
An unusual concentration of 99mTc-phosphates appeared in the gluteal area in bone scans of three patients who had recently had intramuscular injections of iron dextran complex. These cases indicate one more cause for extraosseous accumulation of these bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals.
