title: The DDT method: an alternative to the use of radiolabelled microspheres for the determination of regional blood flows in the rat.
abstract: Intravenous administration of the 14C-radiolabelled insecticide DDT--1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis-(p-chlorophenyl)ethane--can be used for the estimation of regional blood flows in small rodents. A mathematical model is presented which enables the conversion of relative into absolute blood flows.
