Abstract |
There have been reported numberous cases of liver
scanning in use of 198Au colloid by many investigators,
however, one in use of 113mIn colloid has not been
reported as yet in this country. The dose of 113mIn for
high diagnostic value in examination of each organ was
determined and the diagnostic interpretability of liver
scanning with the use of 113mIn was carefully evaluated
in comparison with the results of the liver scanning by
the conventionally applied radioisotope. The
comparative study of both figures of liver scanning
with the use of 113mIn colloid and 198Au colloid
delivered following results:1) The liver uptake rate
and clearance into peripheral blood were accentuated
more in case of 113mIn colloid than in case of 198Au
colloid. 2) The interpretability of space occupying
lesion in liver scanning with 113mIn was also superior
to one with 198Au. 3) The figure of liver scanning with
113mIn colloid corresponds not always to the figure
with 198Au. This difference can be explained by
difference of phagocytic ability of reticuloendotherial
system within liver. 4) In the liver scanning with
113mIn colloid, the spleen is also visualized even in
normal examine. 5) In the cases of disturbed liver
function, uptake is more decreased in use of 113mIn
colloid than in 198Au, in the spleen, however, the way
is contrary. 6) With use of 113mIn colloid, the time
required for scanning could be shortened in comparison
with 198Au. 7) The filtration of 113mIn colloid for
scanning prior to human administration gives an
expectation for better scanning figure.
