nations are fired into the trou-
BILE spot.
For any isotope to be used
internally, it must fulfill cer-
tain requirements.
First of all. it must not
poison the patient; it must be
comfortable in its effects, and
its usefulness as a medicine
must vastly outweigh what
ever damage is done by its
radiation.
Second. If a particular organ
is to be treated, the isotope
must have an affinity for that
organ. 1t would do no good to
treat the spleen with iodine
l31, because most of that iso-
tope would concentrate itself
far away from the spleen, in
side the thyroid.
Finally. the isotope must
have a short enough half-life,
or must be excreted from the
body in a short enough period
(called its biological half
|life") that it will not continue
to expose the tissues to radia-
tion after its principal purpose
has been served.
Radiation from external iso-
tope sources is more versatile
than internal therapy because
even long-lived, poisonous sub
stances can be used. Also, the
radiation dosage can be much
more precisely gauged. For
these reasons, external radia-
ton has found greater favor
among doctors than the inter-
nal use Of isotopes as a method
of healing.

important that the seriously Ill
patient not be distressed by
what is happening"
In medical use, isotopes are
used to tag" substances which
are introduced into the body
and then tracked with a geiger
counter or its equivalent. In
finitesimal amounts suffice; for
example, the standard iodine
cocktail widely used in basal
metabolism tests contains only
/ microcurie of iodine-13l. This
is equivalent to 3I100-millionths
of an ounce Of radium.
Dissolved in a glass of water,
this preparation has neither
taste nor color nor odor.
Twenty-four hours later, by
holding a geiger counter
against the thyroid gland. the
doctor can tell a lot about how
the patient is using his food.
Measuring Is Precise
ISotope tagging can be done
in many ways. Radio-iodine
can be incorporated into albu-
min, radio-chromium or radio
iron into red blood cells, or
tritium (radio-hydrogen of the
triple weight) into ordinary
water.
Almost any gamma emitting
isotope can be detected with
proper equipment in the most
minute quantities. A single
atomic disintegration can be
observed under the right con-
ditions. A microcurie of TO-
dine-131 gives off $1,000 atomic
disintegrations every second.
When the general radioac-
tivity level of the body is to
Evening star., 1960-06-30

be determined, a whole. body
counter" is used. These coun-
ters come in two general types,
both big enough to hold a hu-
man patient. One is a cylinder
in which the patient lies; the
other is a small room with a
posture" chair in it. Though
they differ in methods of oper-
alton, both counters work on
the principle of using a special
chemical which can detect and
amplify atomic events.
The counters take advantage
of the fact that every gamma
emitting substance has a unique
pattern of energies. These are
so precise that they can be con-
Sidered as atomic fingerprints, -
and their appearance on an os-
cilloseope screen can be imme-
diately identified by a trained
operator.
For example, If the recording
instruments show gamma-ac-
tivity peaks on the screen at
1888, 2.75 and 81 million elec-
tron volts, it is a sure sign
that sodium-24 is present. A
peak at 1.28 million means So
dium-22, while 1923 million in
combination with 2.42 million
is a dead give-away of phos-
phorus-29.

Easy on Patient
Physicians find isotopes at
tractive for diagnosis because
they are quick, clean. safe and
sure. They are easy on the
patient, too; it is far more
pleasant to swallow a tiny bit
of tasteless liquid than to SUBJ
NIT to a blood-letting.
"The factor of comfort must
not be overlooked" says DR.
Lee E. Farr, medical chief at

in the dark, but in the art of
diagnosis. Only a few fairly
rare diseases have proved sus-
ceptible to atomic attack. The
atoms use against cancer has
been valuable but limited, re-
stricted chiefly to cases where
the treatment is almost as
rough as the disease.
Diagnostic use of isotopes,
however. has transformed med
ical Notwithstanding from a
knack to a science in a way
that was quite impossible be-
fore the Atomic Age dawned.
Isotopes are used in medical
practice all over the world.
