What is the expiration time for the preparation of Tetrofosmin (Myoview)?

The expiration time for the preparation of Tetrofosmin (Myoview) is indeed set at 8 hours. This time frame is critical because it ensures the stability and efficacy of the radiopharmaceutical. After 8 hours, the radiopharmaceutical may degrade or not be as effective in imaging myocardial perfusion, which can affect diagnostic accuracy.

Preparation and usage within this recommended window are essential in radiopharmacy to maintain patient safety and maximize the effectiveness of the imaging procedures. Extending beyond this time could lead to suboptimal results in nuclear imaging studies.
