Two radiopharmaceuticals, 99mTc-DTPA (D) and 99mTc-rhenium sulfur (R), were evaluated with a nebulizer delivering submicronic particles. Seventy-seven patients were examined (42 D, 35 R). For all patients, the examination began with a ventilation study. Immediately after the last ventilation view, 9
