## Abstract Peptides are known as receptor‐specific molecules that play an important role not only in diagnosis and therapy of neoplastic diseases, but also in the pathogenesis of other diseases. In an effort to develop a peptide‐based radiopharmaceutical for scintigraphic studies, a small peptide

✦ Synopsis
99m Tc-Labeled organo-germanium nanoparticles ranging in size from 60 to 80 nm were newly developed for a spleen imaging agent. The radiolabeled nanoparticles were prepared with a high labeling efficiency (over 99%) and they also showed an excellent stability at room temperature for 6 h. The biodistribution data of the nanoparticles injected into rats via intravenous routes showed a notably higher accumulation in the spleen when compared to other reticuloendothelial system organs. Gamma image of the rabbits obtained after an intravenous injection of the nanoparticles revealed a localization of the radioactivity mainly in the spleen and the liver.
