| Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc sestamibi |
Technetium 99mTc sestamibi is a coordination complex consisting of the radioisotope technetium-99m bound to six methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) ligands, hence the name sesta (6) MIBI. Following intravenous injection of the drug, Technetium 99mTc sestamibi is taken up by the myocardium, parathyroid, and/or breast tissue. |

| Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc stannous agent labelled cells |
|
|
| Technetium ⁹⁹ᵐTc tetrofosmin |
Technetium (99mTc) tetrofosmin is a lipophilic, cationic complex which diffuses passively through the cell membrane and is locally retained actively due to the presence of intact mitochondria reflecting the presence of viable cells. After intravenous injection, it is distributed within the myocardium according to myocardial perfusion and viability. It is used for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging and Ventricular Function Imaging. |
