Detection of lipoid tumors by xenon-133.
Three patients with biopsy-proven liposarcoma were studied with inhalation of xenon-133, a gas highly soluble in fat. Increased concentration of radioactivity in the region of the tumor suggested the potential usefulness of radioxenon for the detection of lipomatous tumors.
