Effect of Ursodeoxycholic Acid on the Biodistribution and Excretion of Technetium-99m Radiopharmaceuticals in Rat: A Potential Image Quality Enhancer.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on the biodistribution and excretion of technetium-99m (Tc-99m)-labeled radiopharmaceuticals. ⋯ This study demonstrated that administration of UDCA increases renal excretion and soft tissue clearance of radiopharmaceuticals. This investigation could contribute to the broadening of applications of UDCA.
