Route of administration: injectable
Substance: Tc 99 m - cells labeled with exametazine (contrast agent)
ATC: V09AA01 (Various | Central nervous system | Technetium (99mtc) compounds)
Tc-99m-exametazime-labeled cells are used in medical imaging to evaluate infections and inflammations in the body. These are white blood cells labeled with the Tc-99m radioisotope, which accumulate in affected areas, allowing them to be visualized through scanning.
The medication is administered intravenously, and images are obtained using a gamma camera. It is important for patients to follow the doctor's instructions before and after the procedure.
Patients should be aware of potential adverse reactions, such as allergic reactions or discomfort at the injection site. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.
Side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions, nausea, or skin rashes. Patients should be informed of these risks before the procedure.
