99mTc-aminohexylidendiphosphonate and 99mTc-pyrophosphate in the scintigraphic diagnosis of experimental myocardial infarction in dogs

Nuklearmedizin. 1988 Oct;27(5):226-7.

Abstract

99mTc-aminohexylidendiphosphonate (99mTc-AHDP) is a new Czechoslovak pharmaceutical of the phosphonate line which contains the amino group NH2 in its molecule. This substance was tested in 5 dogs with experimentally provoked 48-h old myocardial infarction. The in-vivo scan and the radioactivity of tissue samples demonstrated that 99mTc-AHDP is as suitable for imaging acute myocardial infarction as is the commonly used 99mTc-pyrophosphate.
