โœฆ Synopsis

Rapid and preferential uptake of 47 calcium 87m Strontium by the multinodular calcareous masses was seen in a patient with tumoral calcinosis. Using 87m Strontium, scintigraphic imaging of the tumors was achieved, while the skeleton was barely visible. More intense accumulation of 87m Sr. in one tumor suggested a higher rate of calcium depostion. This was in agreement with the observation that this tumor showed less tendency to decrease in size during calcium and phosphorus deprivation therapy. Quantitative measurements of the uptake of bone seeking tracers by the tumors may be of value in estimating calcium turnover in the calcified masses.

Single-passage experiments in which bone-seeking tracers are injected arterially at the same time as microspheres to determine an extraction ratio are only valid if the maximum transit time through bone is less than the minimum recirculation time. This validity was investigated by injecting various

The lysosomal role in tumor accumulation of 67Ga was determined by dual-tracer (67Ga and 46Sc) studies. It became clear that 67Ga essentially did not accumulate in the tumor lysosome, and that the lysosome did not play a major role in tumor accumulation of 67Ga. In addition, it was revealed that tum
