a potential radiopharmaceutical for restenosis treatment after PTCA
was prepared with commercially available TechneScan MAG3 kit. The labeling yield of 188Re-MAG3 was more than 98 % under the optimal labeling condition. The data revealed that stability of 188Re-MAG3 in reaction medium and in saline was better than in bovine serum. Compared to Na188ReO4
the blood clearance of 188Re-MAG3 was faster and the uptake in thyroid and stomach was lower. The radiolabeled compound was excreted rapidly through urinary system.188Re-MAG3 is promising for clinical trial instead of Na188ReO4.
