Isomeric Radio-Isotopes of Bromine

Safe handling of radio-isotopes.

Radio-isotopes and regional blood flow.

not previously been satisfactory clinical methods for tissue flow measurement. Recent techniques with radio-isotopes which can be used in man are therefore of interest, and this editorial reviews generally the theory underlying their use and their application in the past few years. The great advantage of radio-isotopes is that they may be measured easily in the body using an external detector, ...

Characteristics of radio-isotopes for intra-articular therapy.

Since Ansell, Crook, Mallard, and Bywaters (1963) and Makin and Robin (1964) initiated the method, the use of radioactive colloids in the treatment of chronic synovitis has become routine. The destruction of the inflammatory synovium, called synoviorthese or synoviolysis, is based on the irradiation of the serosa by colloidal particles, removed from the suspension injected into the articular ca...

Isomeric Decay of 208Ra

Low-energy excited states of 208 Ra were investigated using the 182 W(30 Si, 4n) reaction at the Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory of Yale University. Fusion evaporation recoils were selected using the gas-filled spectrometer SASSYER. Delayed γ rays, following isomeric decays, were detected at the focal plane of SASSYER with a small array of three clover Ge detectors. Transitions following a ...

The chemistry of atmospheric bromine

Bromine may act as a catalyst for recombination of ozone and could be more efficient than either nitric oxide or chlorine. The lower atmosphere contains small concentrations of gaseous bromine produced in part by marine activity, in part by volatilization of particulate material released during the combustion of leaded gasoline, with an additional contribution due to the use of methyl bromide a...
