Title: Preparation and use of a /sup 195m/Au-containing liquid

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6702945

A process is described for performing a radiodiagnositc examination in a living being comprising administering to the living being a non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable /sup 195m/Au-containing liquid which is produced by (a) adsorbing /sup 195m/Hg on a chemically and radiolytically stable adsorption agent comprising a mercury ion binding material having a significantly higher affinity to mercury ions than for gold ions, and (b) eluting the daughter /sup 195m/Au radioisotope with an eluant which selectively converts /sup 195m/Au ions to an elutable form in the presence of the adsorbed parent /sup 195m/Hg radioisotope, and which is non-toxic and pharmaceutically acceptable, and monitoring the radioactivity emitted from the living being.
