Abstract
The normal biodistribution of Tc-99m pertechnetate includes the thyroi d gland, salivary glands, choroid plexus, and gastric mucosa. The prim ary route of excretion is through renal clearance, The authors describ e two cases in which hepatobiliary excretion of intravenously administ ered Tc-99m pertechnetate was observed during scanning for Meckel's di verticulum as a possible source of gastrointestinal bleeding.
