Abstract:
Technegas is a suspension of ultrafine
99Tc
m labelled carbon particles produced in an atmosphere of high-quality argon. It is cheap,always available and easy to use,delivers a low radiation dose,and for the most parts,provides good quality lung images.In normal lungs,there was no difference radios in the lungs between Technegas and inhaled
81Kr
m、
133Xe.Compared with ordinary radioaerosols,it causees fewer and less intense foci of parasitic bronchial activity,and assures good peripheral penetration and alveolar deposition.And Technegas ventilation imaging also has many ad-vantages over other methods,such as X-ray examinations and bronchoscopy.
