Some studies reported that bone uptake of 99mTc-labelled bone scanning agents was decreased in patients receiving etidronate intravenously or orally [ 10– 10].
Five seconds into the first phase of scanning, contrast agent (150 μL of diluted Hypaque 300, 200 mg of iodine per ml) was injected via a tail vein catheter at an injection rate of 2.0 ml/min with an infusion pump (New Era Pump Systems Inc) that was triggered by the CT scanner.
Clinically, MRI virtual cystoscopy of the bladder is less commonly used, (Raza and Jhaveri 2012) and although gadolinium-based contrast agents are sometimes administered intravenously prior to scanning, specific agents that bind tumors are not yet available.
The architecture of the scanning engines, agents, and systems will vary from product to product, but it is this architecture that affects overall scanning performance.

For the final scan, contrast agent (Omnipaque 350; Daiichi Sankyo, Tokyo, Japan) was injected over 10 s, followed by a second bolus of 80% of the amount of contrast medium diluted 50% and then a bolus of saline.
One performer plays the hero of the film and asks people on the street how he can aid them; another plays a casting agent, scanning the sidewalk for collaborators.
