Abstract
Using a whole-body counter which incorporates 8 static NaI(Tl) [Tl drifted NaI] detectors, it is possible to measure the absorption of vitamin B12 labeled with 57Co instead of 58Co, with a consequent reduction in absorbed radiation dose to the patient.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
