Popis: Nanobacteria are minute bacteria recently isolated from mammalian blood. They encapsulate themselves with apatite mineral.Cultured nanobacteria were radiolabeled with 'Tc, using a method which has been previously used for labeling red bloodcells with 99mTc and in vivo distribution of nanobacteria was followed with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography(SPECT) imaging. The labeling yield was over 30%. Two rabbits were studied using dynamic planar imaging performed inthe AP-position immediately after injection. Serial SPECT scans were acquired up to 24 h and one planar image was taken at45
