Summary

99mTc-pyridoxylidene glutamate is a good agent to visualize the hepatobiliary system. The method of preparation and quality control, and preliminary data on its behaviour in human controls is presented. In humans the gall bladder could be well seen in about 15—20 minutes after intravenous injection.

99mTc-Pyridoxilidin-Glutamat ist eine zweckmäßige Substanz zur Sichtbarmachung des hepatobiliären Systems. Die Herstellungsmethode, Qualitätskontrolle und vorläufige Daten über das Verhalten bei Versuchspersonen werden mitgeteilt. Beim Menschen konnte die Gallenblase etwa 15—20 Min. nach i.v.-Injektion gut gesehen werden.
