Abstract
Abstract New stable complexing agents for radionuclides which are phosphonate derivatives of certain polyamidoamines have been found which are useful in imaging the skeletal system in animals. Even though the complexing agents have high molecular weights the complexes clear rapidly and very efficiently through the kidneys, with large amounts being taken up in the bone. The ratio of uptake in bone to that in surrounding soft tissue is high even at relatively short times after injection.
