Preclinical evaluation of technetium 99m-labeled P1827DS for infection imaging and comparison with technetium 99m IL-8

[99mTc]P1827DS is a potential new inflammation imaging agent, which clearly visualized the abscess in the rabbit E. coli infection model and showed improved biodistribution compared to [99mTc]P483H. However, the infection uptake and biodistribution of [99mTc]P1827DS is not superior to that of [99mTc]HYNIC-IL-8 in this animal model.
