TECHNESCAN HDP FOR INJECTION 3 mg/vial

INJECTION, POWDER, FOR SOLUTION

**Posology and method of administration** The average activity administered by single intravenous injection is 500 MBq (300 – 700 MBq) in a 50 to 70 kg adult. Other activities may be justifiable. There is no special dosage regimen for the elderly patient. The dose to be administered to a child should be a fraction of the adult dose calculated from the body weight according to the following table.  In very young children (up to 1 year) a minimum dose of 40 MBq is necessary in order to obtain images of sufficient quality. Images obtained shortly after injection (e.g. in the so-called "3-phase bone scan" procedure) will only partly reflect metabolic activity. Late phase static scintigraphy should be performed not earlier than 2 hours after injection. The patient should void before scanning.
