Iron Supplements + Technetium Tc 99m Pyrophosphate Interaction

Moderateinteraction on record

Description

High levels of iron from concomitant iron infusions may alter biodistribution of technetium Tc 99m pyrophosphate, reducing skeletal uptake and increasing extraosseous uptake, potentially degrading imaging quality.

Mechanism

Iron cations interfere with radionuclide biodistribution
