Abstract
The radioactive inert gas xenon 133 was used for atraumatic local labeling of the skin by epicutaneous application in gaseous form. The method is described and commented on. The technique is developed for local clearance studies of skin blood flow and the results obtained support the supposition that there exists a trauma of injection in the skin in experiments where skin labeling is performed by injection of xenon 133 in saline.
