1. Nuclear Journal of Canada, 1987 Vol 1 No. 2, by C.L. Schultz, J.G. Roberts, C.E. Webber, C.A. Woolever, and J.D. Adachi, CNS, 1987-06-01. Doc type: Paper.
   Summary: The 24-hour retention of 99mTc-imidodiphosphate has been measured in 39 subjects. The mean retention for five normal premenopausal women was 49 ± 5%. For postmenopausal women the mean retention was 57 ± 6%. The mean retention for eight patients suffering from Paget's disease was 75 ± 13%. Retention was reduced from 57 ± 8% to 52 ± 7% following estrogen replacement therapy. These results support the contention that 99mTc-imidodiphosphate is retained in vivo to a greater extent than other 99mTc-labelled compound phosphates, and that such retention reflects the rate of whole-body bone mineral turnover.
