administered preparations used for gastrointestinal tract imaging (gastric emptying,
reflux etc.) are classified in this group.
Preparations containing larger particles that are used for lung perfusion studies are
classified in QV09E - Respiratory system. Denaturated labelled erythrocytes for
spleen scintigraphy are classified in QV09G - Cardiovascular system.
QV09DX

QV09E
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
This group comprises radiopharmaceuticals for the lung ventilation and lung
perfusion studies.
QV09EA
Technetium ( 99m Tc), inhalants
Technetium preparations for inhalation are classified in this group. Preparations
with other indications when given intravenously are classified according to such
indications, e.g technetium-pentetate is classified in QV09C - Renal system.
QV09EB

Preparations containing smaller particles or colloids that are used for RES function
are classified in QV09D - Hepatic and reticulo endothelial system.
QV09EX
Other respiratory system diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals
QV09F
THYROID
This group comprises radiopharmaceuticals used for thyroid imaging.
Thalliumchloride and technetium-sestamibi used for parathyroid imaging are
classified in QV09G - Cardiovascular system.
QV09FX
Various thyroid diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals
Technetium-pertechnetate used for the scintigraphy of salivary glands and Meckels
diverticulum is classified in this group. Technetium-pentavalent succimer used in
medullary thyroid carcinoma is classified in QV09I - Tumour detection. Sodium
iodide ( 131 I) in low dose is classified here. Sodium iodide ( 131 I) in high dose for
therapy is classified in QV10X - Other therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals.
