Description

A new radionuclide method for uterus imaging is described. After intravenous application of 201Tl chloride the myometrium can be displayed by means of a gamma camera and a small digital computer. Early results suggest that Tl accumulation by the uterus depends on its histopathologic structure. After intra-uterine injection of 133Xe in saline demarcation between myometrium and uterine cavity is possible. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Eine neue nuklearmedizinische Methode zur Uterus-Darstellung wird beschrieben. Nach i.v.-Applikation von 201Tl-Chlorid kann man das Myometrium mit Hilfe einer Gamma-Kamera und eines digitalen Kleinrechners abbilden. Erste Beobachtungen weisen darauf hin, dass die uterine Tl-Speicherung vom histologischen Bau der Gebaermutterveraenderungen abhaengt. Nach intra-uteriner Injektion von 133Xe-Kochsalzloesung ist die Abgrenzung des Myometriums gegenueber dem Cavum uteri moeglich. (orig.)
