Abstract
For a number of investigations, including fundamental studies of radiation effects on living tissues and therapeutic utilization of radioisotopes, it is valuable to have methods for the selective localization of radioisotopes in certain tissues. Finely dispersed anhydrous chromic phosphate has been found useful by Jones, Wrobel, and Lyons in selectively irradiating the liver and spleen with p{sup 32} beta particles. The present studies, reported in this and the following communication, are concerned with methods for controlled selective localization of colloids (incorporating radioisotopes) in the liver, spleen, or bone marrow, and with an analysis of some of the factors involved in the phenomenon of localization.Keywords
