What is NeoTect used for? NeoTect is a radioactive imaging test used
to evaluate certain lung lesions in patients who test positive for lung lesions using
other imaging tests (e.g., CT or MRI) and have been diagnosed with cancer or have a strong
likelihood of cancer. NeoTect identifies certain cells that may be associated with lung
cancer and sometimes with other conditions. Special Warnings with NeoTect: If there is a history of drug reactions or allergies, emergency equipment and health care professionals trained to recognize and treat severe allergic reactions should be available when NeoTect is given.
