Many patients with multiple medical problems who are receiving a variety of drugs are investigated with imaging techniques which require intravascular contrast media. The Contrast Media Safety Committee of the European Society of Urogenital Radiology therefore decided to review the literature and to draw up simple guidelines on interactions between contrast media and other drugs. An extensive literature search was carried out and summarized in a report. Based on the available information, simple guidelines have been drawn up. The report and guidelines were discussed at the 11th European Symposium on Urogenital Radiology in Santiago de Compostela. Contrast media may interact with other drugs, and may interfere with isotope studies and biochemical measurements. Awareness of the patient drug history is important to avoid potential hazards. Simple guidelines are presented.

Foreword 99m Tc pharmaceuticals mark the beginning of diagnostic nuclear medicine and have contributed to patient care worldwide. Since the short-lived radionuclide was introduced for thyroid imaging in 1964, it has attracted much attention and stimulated clinical research. Little was known about element 43, except that it was an artificial radionuclide obtained by the radioactive decay of molybdenum-99. No wonder specialists from all fields joined medical institutions in the United States to participate in the exploration of its chemistry.This textbook gives an account of the accomplishments related to the development of 99m Tc pharmaceuticals and their application in diagnostic nuclear medicine. Since radioactive drug development is a multidisciplinary task, experts working in nuclear medicine and research institutions have contributed valuable information concerning the preparation with sterile kits, methods of quality control, and the use of 99m Tc pharmaceuticals in patients. In addition, the legal aspects governing production and clinical application are also considered.99m Tc pharmaceuticals in nuclear medicine are presented in two parts. Part 1 includes basic principles and methods used for preparation and analysis, in particular the chemistry of technetium-99m and methods described for the synthesis of complexes and conjugates of technetium-99m, the characteristics and performance of the 99 Mo/ 99m Tc generator system, the importance of kits and formulations for one-step labeling, and safety aspects for labeling blood cells. Special emphasis is given to analytical methods verifying pharmaceutical quality. The quality standards of good manufacturing practice (GMP) for 99m Tc pharmaceuticals and purity standards of the pharmacopeia (European Pharmacopeia and United States Pharmacopeia) have been considered as part of the concept of quality assurance.Part 2 presents 26 monographs of 99m Tc pharmaceuticals, concerning the preparation and safe clinical application. Each monograph provides information on the characteristics of the radiotracer based on chemistry, factors affecting the preparation and in vivo stability, pharmacokinetics and elimination properties, as well as details concerning the clinical application. For each clinical procedure, the effective radiation dose of the patient has been calculated. Methods recommended for quality control and actual results are included.Each radiopharmaceutical is listed under the name used in daily practice. The chemical name, the abbreviated name, and the officinal name in the pharmacopeia are also stated. Listing the trade names may facilitate understanding, especially when relating to products in the literature, which over the years have changed manufacturers.The presentation of 99m Tc pharmaceuticals as monographs serves a practical purpose: it offers relevant information on kit preparation and clinical application at a glance. These monographs provide a wide spectrum of information on 99m Tc pharmaceuticals for daily practice in nuclear medicine, serving as a r...

“…The absence of significant differences in the labeling yield indicates that in vitro interferences observed by some investigators are associated with concentrations exceeding therapeutic plasma levels. Tatum et al (1983) made the interesting observation that blood from patients who had previously received iodinated contrast media demonstrated a sub-optimal red cell labeling efficiency. Mean labeling efficiency decreased from 90 to 30%, supposedly as a result of interference with the redox potential of the stannous ion.…”

Clinical images are worthwhile in Health Sciences and their analysis and correct interpretation aid the professionals,such as physicians, physiotherapists and occupational therapists, to make decisions and take subsequent therapeutic and/or rehabilitation measures. Other factors, besides the state of the disease, may interfere and affect the bioavailability of the radiopharmaceuticals (radiobiocomplexes) and the quality of the SPECT and PET images. Furthermore, the labeling of some of these radiobiocomplexes, such as plasma proteins, white blood cells and red blood cells, with 99mT, can also be modified. These factors include drugs (synthetic and natural) and dietary conditions, as well as some medical procedures (invasive or non-invasive), such as radiation therapy, surgical procedures, prostheses, cardioversion, intubation, chemoperfusion, external massage, immunotherapy, blood transfusion and hemodialysis. In conclusion, the knowledge about these factors capable of interfering with the bioavailability of the radiobiocomplexes is worthwhile for secure diagnosis. Moreover, the development of biological models to study these phenomena is highly relevant and desirable.
Imagens clínicas são valiosas em Ciências da Saúde e a análise e a interpretação correta das mesmas auxiliam os profissionais, como médico, fisioterapeuta, terapeuta ocupacional, na tomada de decisões e subseqüentes ações terapêuticas e/ou de reabilitação. Além das doenças outros fatores podem interferir e afetar a biodisponibilidade dos radiofármacos (radiobiocomplexos) e a qualidade das imagens (SPECT e PET). Além disso, a marcação de alguns desses radiobiocomplexos com Tc-99m, como proteínas plasmáticas, leucócitos e hemácias, também pode ser modificada. Entre esses fatores, estão drogas (sintéticas e naturais) e condições alimentares, assim como alguns procedimentos médicos (invasivos e não invasivos), como a radioterapia, processos cirúrgicos, próteses, cardioversão, intubação, quimioperfusão, massagem externa, imunoterapia, transfusão sanguínea e hemodiálise. Em conclusão, o conhecimento sobre esses efeitos capazes de interferir na biodisponibilidade de radiobiocomplexos é altamente relevante para diagnósticos precisos. Além disso, o desenvolvimento de modelos biológicos para estudar esses fenômenos é de elevada importância e desejável
