THE PANCREAS SPECIFICITY OF Se$sup 75$-SELENOMETHIONINE

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Med.
OSTI ID:4030356
Se/sup 7//sup 5/-selenomethionine was prepared. This compound shows the pancreas specificity characteristic of amino acids. About 6% of the dose can be found in the pancreas 2 hr after administration and the concentration in the pancreas is as high as 8 or 9 times that found in the liver. This distribution data and the radiation characteristics of Se/sup 7//sup 5/ suggest that Se/sup 7// sup 5/-selenomethionine might be useful for visualization of the pancreas by isotope scanning techniques.
