Abstract
The biodistribution of 99mTc labeled bone marrow phytate, sulfur colloid and diphosphonate in young rats and rabbits was compared. Autoclaved bone marrow phytate revealed significant long-base deposition, but 96% of this activity was associated with compact bone and only 4% with bone marrow. This distribution is similar to that of diphosphonate but significantly different from that of sulfur colloid. 99mTc phytate is not recommended as a bone-marrow imaging agent.
