Abstract
99mTc-labeled L-cysteine, DL-homocysteine and S-carbamyl-L-cysteine were prepared and tested for effectiveness in .gamma.-camera imaging and for bioradiodistribution in mice bearing [mouse] Ehrlich solid tumors. Among these labeled compounds, 99mTc-DL-homocysteine seems most promising for the nuclear medical imaging of tumors.
