Bone marrow imaging with 59Fe.
Commerically available collimators are not suitable for the visual demonstration of the kinetics of 59Fe, because of its physical properties. A locally designed collimator, that provides integral visual information of the whole body distribution of erythropoietic marrow, is discussed. Wholebody scans of 4 individuals are also included to demonstrate the capabilities of the collimator.
