“…The principal differences in the techniques now employed are the timing of the pancreatic scan after the injection of isotope and minor variations in the speed of scanning. The time interval between the injection of the isotope and starting the scan varies from immediately following injection (RodriguezAntunez, 1964) to I hour following injection (Zuidema, Kirsch, Turcotte, Gaisford, Powers, and Kowalczyk, 1963). It is now common practice in all centres carrying out pancreatic scans to perform a separate liver scan using a liver-seeking isotope, colloidal gold Ig8Au (Sodee, 1964;Colella and Pignorini, 1967;Melmed and others, 1968) or technetium 99m sulphur colloid (Brown, Sircus, Smith, Donaldson, Dymock, Falconer, and Small, 1968).…”

SUMMARYThe results of 117 pancreatic scans using selenomethionine 75 are presented in conjunction with a report on a series of experiments undertaken to investigate the metabolism of selenomethionine. The total plasma radioactivity and plasma protein-bound activity in bile were monitored within the period of time taken by a pancreatic scan. A further investigation was also undertaken in order to find out into which plasma protein selenomethionine became incorporated during this time. The result of these experiments are presented with a discussion on the clinical application of pancreatic scanning and the usefulness of prescan preparations of the patient.
