Technetium (99mTc) human albumin is a radiopharmaceutical agent used primarily for diagnostic imaging. It consists of human serum albumin labeled with technetium-99m, a gamma-emitting radionuclide. Common indications include blood pool imaging, detection of cardiac function, evaluation of the liver or spleen, and occasionally for quantification of protein-losing enteropathies. Approved and widely used as a diagnostic nuclear medicine agent.
Pharmacokinetic parameters estimated for a standard adult after intravenous administration; explicit published human PK parameter values were not identified for this specific compound, thus typical radiotracer distribution kinetics for similar agents were considered.
