ANS B.99mtc sulfur colloid is the radiopharmaceutical of choice
99mTc-Sulfur Colloid is the radiopharmaceutical used to image gastroesophageal reflux in both
adults and children. However, adults are administered a mixture of dilute hydrochloric acid,
orange juice and tracer after fasting from midnight. In infantsand toddlers, the procedure is
performed at the time of a scheduled feeding, so theymay fast as little as two hours before
receiving the tracer. In adults, an abdominal binder is used to increase external abdominal
pressure to demonstrate more subtleinstances of reflux. Because the abdominal muscles are
important in pediatric respiration, the binder is typically not used with children, particularly
infants.
