✦ Synopsis

T sively as a contrast medium since its introduction by Bluhbaum et al.5 in 1928. Shortly thereafter, Radtll described its use in hepatosplenography. The commercial preparation, known as Thorotrast, is a 24 to 26% colloidal suspension of thorium dioxide with dextrin as a stabilizer and hydroxybenzoate (0.15oj',) as the preservative. The particle size averages about 15 p. Thorium ( Th232) is an alpha emitter with a half life of 1 . 3 9 ~1 0 ~~ years and 11 daughter isotopes that emit alpha, beta, and gamma rays of varying energy. The decay pattern has been described by Rotblat and Ward.l2
