Abstract
Magnetite (Fe3O4) particles 0.1–0.5 μm in diameter doped with either 99mTc or 111In have been prepared and characterized by electron microscopy and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The time courses of their distributions after injection into rats were determined, including studies by γ-camera imaging; the main targets were the liver and lung. The radiolabelled magnetic agents may be of value in research studies combining radio- and magnetic resonance imaging procedures.
