Patent ·
OSTI ID:6530228

Stable compositions, useful as technetium-99m-based scintigraphic agents, comprise hydroquinone in combination with a pertechnetate reducing agent or dissolved in pertechnetate-99m (99mtco4-) solution. The compositions are especially useful in combination with a phosphate or phosphonate material which carries the radionuclide to bone, thus providing a skeletal imaging agent.
