99mTc-NTP 15-5 longitudinal in vivo examination of a representative SRC-bearing rat; (a) in vivo scintigraphic image of the contralateral paw at day 4; (b) in vivo scintigraphic image of the tumour-bearing paw at day 4; (c) in vivo scintigraphic image of the tumour bearing paw of the same animal at day 35. A clear accumulation of radioactivity within tumoural tissue was observed as early as day 4 after implant (Image b, arrow); abbreviations: CHS = chondrosarcoma.
