Human albumin microspheres, pretreated with Sn/sup 2 +/, are labeled by the addition of (Tc-99m)pertechnetate. Over 95% of the particles are in the size range of 15-45 micrometers. The free pertechnetate in this preparation is less than 3%. The kinetic behavior of the radioactivity from other lung-imaging agents (macroaggregated albumin, etc.), and from microspheres labeled with other nuclides or by other chemical techniques, may be quite different from that of the radiopharmaceutical described above. This report of dose estimates does not include information on these materials, or provide estimates for the dose from microspheres administered by other than the intravenous route. (JMT)
