Popis: 99mTc labeled macroaggregated albumin (MAA) is used worldwide for SPECT imaging of lungs, using commercially available MAA kits. An attempt was made to indigenously prepare MAA for radiolabeling with 68Ga, for PET imaging. MAA particles (59.9 ± 18.1 µm) were successfully prepared in-house and radiolabeled with 68Ga. Retention of in-house synthesized 68Ga-MAA in lungs of Swiss mice (71.6 ± 2.1 %ID) was similar to that of 68Ga-MAA prepared using commercial kits (83.5 ± 2.3 %ID). In vivo Cherenkov luminescent imaging of in-house prepared 68Ga-MAA in Swiss mice at 15 min and 60 min p.i. showed maximum retention of activity in lungs and negligible leaching into liver.
