Abstract:
99Tc
m-tetrofosmin is a widely available and conveniently prepared tracer that has been shown to be a transport substrate for P-glycoprntein and multidrug resistance protein in vitro and in vivo. Its properties are similar but not identical to those of
99Tc
m-sestamibi. The available data suggest that clinical studies involving imaging of muhidrug resisttanee function and in vivo modulation of muhidrug resisttance function could be performed with
99Tc
m-tetrofosmin or
99Tc
m-sestamibi, but the two should probably not be used interchangeably.
