NCIt synonyms : 68Ga-NOTA Conjugated Truncated Form of Evans Blue; 68Ga-NEB;
NCIt definition : A radiotracer composed of a truncated form of the azo dye Evans blue (EB) conjugated,
via a 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-N,N',N-triacetic acid (NOTA) linker (NEB), to the radioisotope
gallium Ga 68, with potential blood pool imaging activity for use in positron emission
tomography (PET). Upon administration of gallium Ga 68-NEB, the NEB moiety, which
has high affinity for serum albumin, targets and forms a complex with albumin. Upon
PET, the lymph nodes (LN) and lymphatic vessels as well as other desired tissues can
be visualized.;
