title: [Radioactive phosphorus (32P) in the diagnosis of ocular tumors. Results and therapeutic doses].
abstract: Because of phosphorus involvement in metabolic processes, 32P is a suitable radioisotope for the investigation of the function of normal and malignant cells. The basic principles of the 32P test are analysed. This paper presents the results on a series of patients who underwent the 32P uptake test at the Ospedale Oftalmico of Turin. An evaluation of the dose to the patient is also presented.
