Incorporation of a new radioactive compound, 4+Sn-117m DTPA, into normal and burred rat femurs.
The physical characteristics of a new tin radiopharmaceutical, 4+Sn-117m diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid (DTPA), may make this compound appropriate for orthopedic therapeutic application. The physical and biologic half-lives of this tracer are 14 and 7.8 days, respectively. The decay scheme consists of short-range tissue destroying beta, conversion, and Auger electrons, and a 159-keV gamma ray. Significantly, this compound has a high degree of affinity for newly calcified bone at the site of experimental burr holes in contrast to the adjacent bone marrow. Radioactive skeletal retention was one-half of whole body retention.
