Lung radiotracer localization nuc med placement
Date: Jul 11, 2019
Question:
Can 10035 be used for lung radiotracer localization nuclear med placement? "Once the needle was advanced through location adjacent to the targeted lesion, the needle stylette was removed, and 0.3 mCi of Technetium-99m MAA with 0.15 ml omni 180 was then injected into the lung parenchyma, followed by a small saline flush. The needle was then removed under breath-hold and deposited in the radioactive waste. A sterile dressing was then applied. Postinjection CT scan was then performed."
