Blau and Manske substituted radioactive selenium-75 for sulfur in methionine and
demonstrated that about 6 per cent of a dose of this compound could be demonstrated in the …

[en] Amino-acids show a high degree of localization in the pancreas during the first few
hours after administration. This specificity is related to the rapid synthesis and turnover of the …

excerpt With recent advances in instrumentation (1) and the development of new localizing
materials, isotope scanning has been applied to the visualization of lesions of the thyroid …

The results of 117 pancreatic scans using selenomethionine 75 are presented in
conjunction with a report on a series of experiments undertaken to investigate the …

The authors discuss their experience in pancreas scanning using 75Se-selenomethionine in
a total of 50 persons, of whom 20 were normal subjects and 30 represented a variety of …

THE introduction in 1962 of 78Se-selenomethionine as an agent for pancreatic scanning
represented a major contribution to the clinical investigation of this organ (Blau, Manske …

[en] Photoscanning of the pancreas utilizing selenomethionine-Se 75 has recently been
shown to be a practical technique. In a series of 100 patients who underwent 250 such …

Pancreatic scanning has not had consistent diagnostic value because of the poor
localization of the scanning agent. Only 0.6 to 6.0 per cent of intravenously injected …

“Liver overlap”—inability to distinguish between hepatic and pancreatic radioactivity—
frequently impairs 75Se selenomethionine pancreatic photoscans. This paper describes a …
