Strontium phosphate microparticle for radiological imaging and therapy

摘要

This invention relates to a method for making strontium-phosphate microparticles that incorporate radioisotopes for radiation therapy and imaging.

主权项

1. A process for the preparation of a strontium phosphate radiomicroparticle comprising
(i) reacting a strontium-containing borate glass microparticle with a phosphate solution such as to at least partially convert the strontium-containing borate glass of the microparticle to strontium phosphate; and (ii) bonding at least one radioisotope suitable for radioimaging and/or radiotherapy to said microparticle to form said radiomicroparticle by exposing the strontium phosphate to the at least one radioisotope.
