Starting at the time of the intravenous injection of 67 Ga, radioactivity was measured each minute for 1 hour. For each measurement interval, the entire spectrum of photon energies was stored on disk. During processing, the 99m Tc and 67 Ga -and plotted against time. The PLI was calculated, using linear regression analysis, from the slope of increase of the radioactivity ratio divided by the intercept, in order to correct for physical factors in radioactivity detection.
