In vivo localization of colloidal Au198 intravenously injected in polycythemia vera

Abstract
Deposition in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow of colloidal Aul98 injected intravenously was studied by scintillography. Cases of polycythemia whether in re-lapse or remission often showed a greater splenic uptake than normal. A high uptake in the long bones, particularly in the epiphyses, suggests that it may be possible to localize active bone marrow by this method.
