Title: Improved radioaerosol administration system for routine inhalation lung imaging. [/sup 99m/Tc-DTPA or /sup 99m/Tc-sulfur colloid]

Conference · · Radiology; (United States)
OSTI ID:6425652

An improved radioaerosol administration system has been developed to reduce the number of droplets larger than 2.0 ..mu..m in diameter which have caused abnormal hyperdeposition of inhaled aerosols in the large airways. The new system has achieved this goal by interposing a reservoir-setting bag in the aerosol delivery line between the nebulizer and the patient. The components are inexpensive, commercially available and easily assembled in any nuclear medicine service.
