Description

Scintiscanning of salivary glands with (sup 99m)Tc is commented. The uses of triolein - and oleic acid labelled with 131I, 125I or 82Br are discussed in the study of fat absorption, as well as 14C and 191Y. The use of 57Co as a radiotracer in the intestinal absorption of vitamin B12 is analysed. Orientation is given about 51Cr - albumin clearance in the study of plasmatic protein loss by digestive tract. The radiotracers 131I, 125I and 51Cr are pointed out in the investigation of immunoglobulins. Consideration is given to the quantification of digestive bleedings by the use of 51Cr

Abstract (Portuguese)

Comenta-se o mapeamento das glandulas salivares pelo (sup 99m)Tc. Discute-se o emprego da trioleina e do acido oleico marcados com 131I, 125I, ou 82Br no estudo da absorcao das gorduras, bem como do 14C e 191Y. Na avaliacao da absorcao intestinal da vitamina B12, analisa-se o 57Co como tracador. Instrui-se sobre a prova de depuracao da albumina - 51Cr na investigacao da perda de proteinas plasmaticas pelo trato digestivo. No estudo radioisotopico das imunoglobulinas destacam-se os tracadores 131I, 125I e 51Cr. Estuda-se a quantificacao de hemorragias digestivas pelo emprego de 51Cr
