Therapeutic indications
After reconstitution with Sodium Pertechnetate (99mTc) Injection (Fission or Non-Fission) the agent may be used for bone scintigraphy, where it delineates areas of altered osteogenesis.
Posology and method of administration
The average activity administered by single intravenous injection is 500 MBq (300 – 700 MBq) in a 50 to 70 kg adult. Other activities may be justifiable. There is no special dosage regimen for the elderly patient. The dose to be administered to a child should be a fraction of the adult dose calculated from the body weight according to the following table.

In very young children (up to 1 year) a minimum dose of 40 MBq is necessary in order to obtain images of sufficient quality.
Images obtained shortly after injection (e.g. in the so-called "3-phase bone scan" procedure) will only partly reflect metabolic activity. Late phase static scintigraphy should be performed not earlier than 2 hours after injection. The patient should void before scanning.
Contra-indications
There are no specific contra-indications.
