administrator Carelius said recently, Carelius explained nuclear- medicine is a

diagnostic tool with a wide ©

variety of applications,

particularly in cancer in- .

vestigation. The concept involves the use of

substances that are ‘‘tag- | with radioactive

ged”

markers. In the labo-

ratory, nuclear medicine _ can be used to analyze blood samples for the

presence and quantity of

‘substances such as drugs

and hormones. These substances can also be injected into a pa-

‘tient and used to create

images of internal parts of

‘the body. .when’ scanned - with a special camera. As © an example, Carelius said, —

radioactive iodine

-becomes concentrated: in - population about equal to ithe local region and

the thyroid gland; other

elements can be used to’ obtain scans of . bone, - heart, lungs, kidneys and

other specific areas. -

These properties, he

said, are especially useful in post-operative examina- ”

tions of cancer patients and for victims of pulmonary embolism,

liquidating. The Trail hospital
