Abstract
Radiolabeled colloid compositions and a method for the preparation of radionuclide-colloid compositions useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis are disclosed. A radionuclide selected from the group consisting of Sm-135, Ho-166, In-155m, Y-90, Gd-159 La-140, Lu-177, or Yb-175 is sorbed to a previously prepared iron-hydroxide colloid. The radiolabeled colloid compositions are comprised of spherical aggregations containing greater than 50% of the radioactive metal in iron-hydroxide particles. The method produces stable radionuclide iron-hydroxide compositions which are useful in therapeutic procedures such as radiation synovectomy.
