Effect of cimetidine on blood clearance, gastric uptake, and secretion of /sup 99m/Tc-pertechnetate in dogs

Conference · · Radiology; (United States)

The effect of cimetidine, an H/sub 2/-receptor blocking agent, on the secretion of /sup 99m/Tc-pertechnetate was studied in 11 dogs. In cimetidine-treated animals, there was increased retention of /sup 99m/Tc-pertechnetate by the gastric wall as compared with the untreated animals. The results indicate the potential use of cimetidine for enhanced visualization of Meckel's diverticulum, Barrett's esophagus, and the stomach, with /sup 99m/Tc-pertechnetate.
