Abstract

To effectively block the uptake of pertechnetate by the choroid plexus, perchlorate may be given orally at any time before or after the injection of 99Tc(m) pertechnetate if administration precedes imaging by at least 60 min. Possible routes of discharge of pertechnetate from the choroid plexuses are back into the blood directly or indirectly through secretion with newly formed cerebral spinal fluid.
