99mTc-hydrazinonicotinyl-Tyr3-octreotide ([99mTc]-HYNIC-TOC [Tektrotyd]) is a radiopharmaceutical used for the diagnosis of lesions with overexpression of somatostatin receptors. The purpose of this study was to optimize the method and estimate normal ranges for standardized uptake values of Tektrotyd in healthy livers.
