1. WHAT NANOSCAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR 
This medicine is a radiopharmaceutical product for diagnostic use 
only. 

Before treatment with NanoScan your doctor will explain to you 
the procedure you are about to undergo, and radioactive medicine 
you will be given. 

NanoScan  kit is a sterile preparation for studies
of bone marrow 
scintigraphy, lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel node 
lymphoscintigraphy in melanoma malignum and in breast cancer. 
NanoScan belongs to a group of medicines called 
radiopharmaceutical agents. After labelling with 
99m
Tc-
pertechnetate the Nuclear medicine doctor injects you into the
vein 
(intravenous) or into the
skin (subcutaneous) for visualisation and 
detection under a scintillation camera.  

The use of radiolabelled NanoScan does involve exposure to small 
amounts of radioactivity. Your doctor and the Nuclear medicine 
doctor have considered that the clinical benefit that you will
obtain 
from the procedure with the radiopharmaceutical overcomes the 
risk due to radiation.
