Work in progress: clinical evaluation of Tc-99m-trimethylbromo-IDA and Tc-99m-diisopropyl-IDA for hepatobiliary imaging.

Abstract: Six healthy individuals and six patients with a wide range of hepatobiliary function abnormalities were studied with Tc-99m-trimethylbromo-IDA; all normal subjects and four of the six patients were also studied with Tc-99m-diisopropyl-IDA. Visual evaluation of analog images demonstrated a greater liver-to-kidney ratio for Tc-99m-trimethylbromo-IDA (p less than 0.01). Sampling for radiopharmaceutical in urine at three hours following injection demonstrated that Tc-99m-trimethylbromo-IDA had a lower renal excret… Show more

“…9 Kuni and associates 13 suggest that knowledge of the histopathological correlates of scintigraphic abnormalities could prove useful in differentiating rejection from other parenchymal pathologies in transplant recipients; however, other researchers found that scintigraphic differentiation between rejection and other parenchymal complications is difficult. 1,8,9,14,15 The present study evaluated the role of quantitative hepatobiliary scintigraphy in the diagnosis of parenchymal complications in postliver transplant recipients. Hepatocyte extraction fraction value and HPRI were used for quantitative analysis.…”

“…It is characterized by very low urinary excretion, avid uptake by hepatocytes even at very high levels of bilirubin in the plasma, and rapid hepatic transit into the biliary tract. Clinical studies have confirmed its great usefulness (9). A similar compound, 3-iodo-2,6-diethylphenylcarbamoylmethyliminodiacer tic acid, JODIDA, manufactured by SOLCO company, is said to behave similarly, i. e. to show more efficient extraction from the blood than conventional IDA derivatives, to have a very low urinary excretion and to provide good scintigrams of the liver and biliary tract even at bilirubin levels close to 30 mg per 100 ml (20).…”

“…m Tc-EHIDA shows similar kinetics of uptake and elimination, but the extraction coefficient for this substance seems to be higher than for " m Tc-HIDA (19); the same applies to " m Tc-PIPIDA, but the latter is secreted at a slower rate into the bile (6,19). " m Tc-DISIDA is as efficiently extracted by hepatocytes as is the EHIDA complex of " m T c but its excretion into the bile is faster (9,18). Also, " m Tc-BIDA is characterized by a high extraction coefficient and low elimination via the urinary tract (less than 2%); at the same time, the hepatic transit time of the substance is much longer than that of the other IDA derivatives (16,19).…”
