The use of ultra-short lived single photon emitting radionuclides for angiography offers several advantages including the opportunity to perform rapid repeat studies and a significantly reduced radiation exposure to both patient and personnel. Considering the physical characteristics of the /sup 191/Os//sup 191/Ir radionuclide pair, a generator system based on this parent-daughter pair presents additional specific advantages. /sup 191m/Ir decays by isomeric transition with a half life of 4.96 sec emitting x-rays and gamma photons, which are compatible with conventional gamma cameras. The short half life of /sup 191m/Ir minimizes the absorbed dose by the patient and permits the injection of a bolus every 30 sec. The /sup 191/Os parent decays by ..beta../sup /minus// emission with a half life of 15.4 days emitting no gamma photons. The long half life of the /sup 191/Os parent makes the useful shelf life of the generator several weeks. A new /sup 191/Os//sup 191m/Ir radionuclide generator system which utilizes a heat-treated activated carbon adsorbent has been developed. In the present paper, the preparation, the characteristics, and the use conditions of this generator are described. 4 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab.
