“…In the cases of splenomegalies the enlargement of the spleen revealed by palpation only, and not by scintigraphy, is probably due to a low diaphragm which causes a displacement of the spleen downwards (3). Wagner et al (7) found also in some splenomegalies that the clinical impression of splenic size was erroneous. The homogeneity of splenic uptake, found in splenomegalies, shows that splenomegaly alone does not change the architecture of the splenic parenchyma.…”

SummarySpleen scanning was performed in 180 patients with a variety of diseases including congenital haemolytic anaemias. The method used was that of intravenous injection of heat-treated 51Cr-labelled erythrocytes. The 17 homozygous beta-thalassaemic patients showed a markedly enlarged spleen with a rather homogeneous distribution of radioactivity. Fifteen out of 30 heterozygous betathalassaemic patients showed either a slightly or markedly enlarged spleen whereas in the remaining 15 the size of the spleen was normal. We failed to visualize the spleen in 6 out of 12 patients with sickle-cell anaemia (S/T or S/S).In 23 cases of obscure left abdominal masses a correlation with the surgical findings in five of them and with the results of liver scanning in one are presented. The surgical findings in one out of three patients with an echinococcus cyst of the spleen are correlated with that of the scan.Forty-three splenomegalies of various origins had an homogeneous uptake. In the remaining patients, suffering from different diseases involving probably the spleen, the only finding was in some cases an enlarged spleen.The interpretation of the results is discussed.

“…These include the detection of accessory spleens, the evaluation of patients with suspected congenital asplenia or polysplenia, and the evaluation of patients with suspected splenic injury. The ideal agent for splenic imaging would have the high photon yield and low radiation dose of 99m Tc-sulfur colloid and the high splenic specificity of damaged 51 Cr-tagged red blood cells (RBCs) [54] or 197 Hgmercurihydroxypropane-labeled RBCs [55]. Theoretically, 99m Tc-RBCs fulfill these requirements [56].…”

The carrier free radioisotopes play a vital role in the rapidly emerging fields of science and technology, emphatically in the areas of biomedical sciences. Again, the carrier free radioisotopes of transition series elements have achieved special importance due to their favourable nuclear and chemical properties, either in material research or in biomedical applications. In the present review article, the beneficial uses of some carrier free radioisotopes of the second transition series elements such as 90 Y, 89 Zr, 97,103 Ru, 99m Tc, 101m Rh, 111 Ag, 107,109 Cd, etc. in the field of nuclear medicine has been discussed. Some probable routes for production of these radionuclides have also been indicated.
