Two hundred and fifty-seven patients were studied with bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals. They were randomly divided into three groups. Two groups were injected with two different 99mTc-methylene diphosphonates from two manufacturers (MDP 1 and MDP 2) and the third group with 99mTc-dicarboxypropane

We have investigated the clinical efficacy for the detection of bone metastases of two recently marketed bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals, HDP and DPD, compared with traditionally used MDP. Twenty patients received 15 mCi 99mTc-MDP; after assessment ten of these patients later received 15 mCi 99mTc
The localization of 99mTc(Sn)-MDP in bone tissue was compared with 99mTc-MDP by means of microautoradiography of undecalcified bone sections. Sections of good histological quality were obtained by a rapid embedding method in methylmethacrylate. No differences were found in the localization of these
A comparison of 2 h and 4 h bone scan images obtained with technetium labelled H.E.D.P. in ten patients demonstrated no increase in lesion detection rate between the 2 h and 4 h scans. The 2 h bone scans were of sufficient quality to permit identification of tumours in all cases.
