Preparation of metabolizable radioactive human serum albumin microspheres for studies of the circulation.

TLDR
Radioactive μspheres have been prepared from human serum albumin (HSA) in sizes between 12 and 44 &μ; and they have advantages over other particles that are now being used for studies of the circulation.

Blood flow measurements with radionuclide-labeled particles.

TL;DR: The microsphere technique is relatively simple and extremely accurate when appropriately and correctly applied, and it can be used to quantify arteriovenous anastomoses as well as the measurement of organ blood flows and distribution of blood flow within those organs.

The Circulation of the Fetus in Utero METHODS FOR STUDYING DISTRIBUTION OF BLOOD FLOW, CARDIAC OUTPUT AND ORGAN BLOOD FLOW

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided that (1) there is no significant recirculation of microspheres, (2) the distribution of spheres is proportional to flow, and (3) circulatory physiology is not altered by injection of spheres.

Diagnosis of Massive Pulmonary Embolism in Man by Radioisotope Scanning

TL;DR: The diagnosis of massive pulmonary embolism is frequently difficult and always uncertain, primarily because the symptoms and signs may mimic those of some other diseases, such as myocardial infarction or pneumonia.

Radioactive Albumin Microspheres for Studies of the Pulmonary Circulation

TL;DR: The most common radiopharmaceutical for determining the distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow is 131 -labeled macroaggregates of human serum albumin, but more recently both 113mIn-labeled floes of iron hydroxide and 99mTc- labeled MAA have also been used.
