Correlation of Cu(PTSM) localization with regional blood flow in the heart and kidney

Int J Rad Appl Instrum B. 1989;16(7):747-8. doi: 10.1016/0883-2897(89)90149-9.

Abstract

In a dog model of myocardial ischemia, i.v. injection of [67Cu]Cu(PTSM) leads to an excellent linear correlation for both the heart and kidney between regional tissue radiocopper concentration and regional blood flow measured by radioactive micropheres. The 62Cu-labeled complex may serve as a generator-produced position-emitting perfusion tracer for these organs.
