Clin Nucl Med. 1980 Nov;5(11):499-501. doi: 10.1097/00003072-198011000-00005.

Abstract

The inadvertent intra-arterial injection of a dose of Tc-99m-MDP is reported. Limited quantitative studies were done on the distribution pattern. More extensive investigations of cases of this type may yield useful data on the behavior of radiopharmaceuticals.
