Abstract
An in vitro preformed colloid preparation of 99mTc-Sn-phytate was compared both qualitatively and quantitatively with a commercial 99mTc-sulfur colloid kit in 30 patients. The degree of liver and spleen deposition of radiocolloid was the same. A slightly higher background was visually noted in 33% of the patients receiving preformed colloidal 99mTc-Sn-phytate, but it did not interfere with the diagnostic quality of the liver and spleen images. The only advantage of the phytate compound was a preparation time of less than 5 min.
