Measurement of 51Co-vitamin B12 uptake using a static wholebody counter.
Using a whole-body counter which incorporates eight static NaI((Tl) detectors, it has been found possible to measure the absorption of vitamin B12 labelled with 57Co instead of 58Co, with a consequent reduction in absorbed radiation dose to the patient.
