Kinetics of radionuclides used for bone studies.

Abstract

In this paper we report our investigation to study the kinetics of five bone-seeking nuclides and to compare their local bone and plasma kinetics and urinary excretion rates in order to establish their relative usefulness for detecting and following up the course of metastatic bone lesions. The studies were quantitative, and they used quantitative and computerized scanning methods previously devel oped in this laboratory (1-3).
