Title: METHOD FOR THE STUDY OF THE LIVER BLOOD FLOW USING GAMMA-EMITTING RADIONUCLIDES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4270140

A method is described for the evaluation of liver blood flow values by radioactivity measurements of gamma-emitting radionuclides, in colloid form, using a scintillation detector positioned over the liver region. It is shown that the disappearance rate constant of the nuclide from the blood can be calculated from the curves obtained. Advantages of the method, including the use of small amounts of radioactive materials, are discussed. (auth)
