Use of a Whole Body Counter in Turnover Studies with Ca^471,2,

Berkeley, California

ABSTRACT

A whole body counter has been used to study Ca⁴⁷ turnover in normal subjects, in patients with metastatic breast cancer, and in patients with acromegaly. Patients with osseous metastases of breast cancer have greatly increased turnover rates. Patients with acromegaly have increased retention of calcium, presumably in bone, and the extent of increased retention seems to correlate with the severity of the disease.
