When the ligand and the reducing agent are added to the eluent used in the separation of 99mTc-diphosphonate complexes by column chromatography, a significant increase in recovery is obtained. The addition of the ligand and the reducing agent also influences the shape of the chromatogram.

The evaluation of the osseous ankle and foot pathology often poses a clinical and diagnostic challenge because of the complex anatomy and structural biomechanics of the region. Further investigation involves a multimodality imaging approach. Although both structural and functional imaging techniques have their strengths, namely, the high specificity of the former and superior sensitivity of the latter, they also have a number of limitations when used in isolation.

Within bone tissue, the retention is proportional to vascularity and to surface area of calcium phosphate in bones and not necessarily to calcium and phosphate concentration. The nuclidic agent 99mTcO4-BUT NOT THE 99MTc-diphosphonate is selectively taken up by the thyroid and this uptake can be blocked by administering sodium perchlorate.

The highest infarct-to-normal myocardial concentration ratio was found with 99mTc-diphosphonate (27.9:1); the highest infarct-to-liver ratio was also found with 99mTc-diphosphonate (15.
