Iatrogenic alterations in radionuclide biodistributions

Semin Nucl Med. 1979 Apr;9(2):131-43. doi: 10.1016/s0001-2998(79)80045-8.

Abstract

The biodistribution of radiotracers used in diagnostic imaging is grossly and recognizably altered by a wide variety of drugs and other treatment modalities, such as surgery and radiotherapy. Knowledge of such altered biodistribution is important both in making diagnostic inferences from scans and in dosimetric considerations.
