| Description | Sodium Glucoheptonate is used as a kit for Tc-99m radiolabeling, as well as for metal cleaning, mercerizing, paint stripping and aluminum etching. Among other things, Tc-99m glucoheptonate is a kidney and brain imaging agent that can be used to detect brain tumors. |
| In vivo | Tc-99m glucoheptonate表现出快速的血液清除速度，并且在后颅窝的原发性和转移性病变中，尤其保持了较为稳定的血液水平，通过延迟的glucoheptonate (GH)扫描[2]，其诊断效果得到了提升。 |
