Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) chelates paramagnetic metal ions (e.g., gadolinium) to form stable complexes that alter T1 relaxation times during MRI, enhancing contrast.
Radium-223 dichloride is a calcium-mimetic alpha particle-emitting radiopharmaceutical that forms complexes with bone mineral hydroxyapatite at areas of increased bone turnover, such as bone metastases. The alpha particles induce double-strand DNA breaks in adjacent cells, resulting in cytotoxic effects.
Adult: 3-4 mCi (111-148 MBq) intravenously as a single dose for renal imaging.
55 kBq (1.49 microcurie) per kg body weight, intravenous injection every 4 weeks.

The terminal elimination half-life is approximately 1.7 hours in patients with normal renal function (creatinine clearance >80 mL/min); prolonged to >20 hours in severe renal impairment.
The terminal elimination half-life of radium-223 dichloride is approximately 11 days (range 7–14 days), reflecting the slow turnover of radium in bone.
Renal excretion accounts for >95% of the administered dose via glomerular filtration; less than 2% is excreted in feces.
Radium-223 dichloride is primarily excreted via the feces. Approximately 75% of the administered dose is eliminated in feces within 7 days, with a smaller fraction (about 5%) excreted in urine.
