Joint scintigraphy in rabbits with 99mtc-N-[3-(triethylammonio)propyl]-15ane-N5, a new radiodiagnostic agent for articular cartilage imaging.

Abstract

Our results indicate that 99mTc-NTP 15-5 could be a good tracer for human arthrosic and arthritic cartilage detection, especially for the early diagnosis of joint diseases.
