Description
The details of the metabolism of thallium are still unknown. The former hypothesis that 201thallium as used for myocardial imaging follows a potassium-like metabolism was called in question after animal experiments with rats and guinea-pigs. A critical review basing on these results oand the results of patients' assessments and electro- and quantum-chemical experiments and calculations shows that the mode of the uptake of thallium into myocardial tissue is not in accordance with the uptake of potassium into living tissue.

Abstract (German)
Der Stoffwechsel von Thallium ist in seinen Details bis heute noch unklar. Die fruehere Hypothese, dass 201Thallium, das zur Myokardszintigraphie benutzt wird, einen kaliumaehnlichen Stoffwechselweg ins Myokard besitzt, wird durch Tierexperimente mit Ratten und Meerschweinchen in Zweifel gezogen. In einer kritischen Wertung dieser und von uns bereits veroeffentlichten Untersuchungen an Patienten und elektro- und quanten-chemischer Experimente und Berechnungen wird nachgewiesen, dass keine Uebereinstimmung im Modus der Aufnahme von Thallium und Kalium in die lebende Zelle besteht.
