As the most highly accessed article from our journal, this study evaluates the absorption, distribution, and excretion of Gallium-68 ( 68 Ga) radionuclide after a single intravenous (i.v.) injection of 68 Ge/ 68 Ga generator eluate in healthy rats. Human radiation doses were also estimated from the rat data. The researchers found that the generator eluate was slightly higher for the female rats, but that this could be due to the small sample size.
This study was conducted within the Finnish Centre of Excellence in Cardiovascular and Metabolic Disease, supported by the Academy of Finland, University of Turku, Turku University Hospital and Åbo Akademi University.
