متن کاملRadioisotope scanning in auxiliary liver transplantation.
The same general techniques were used in both the canine and human studies. Intravenously administered rose bengal 1131 was administered to dogs in a dose of 50 microcuries and to patients in a dose of 150 microcuries; scans were obtained at 5 minutes. In the canine experiments employing gold, 50 microcuries of Aulg8 were used with scanning at 15 minutes; in 2 adult human beings 200 microcuries...
متن کاملRadioisotope scanning of the precordial distribution of iodide in patients with myocardial infarction.
