title: The diagnosis of the gastric cancer by radionuclides and their labels, using catheter-type semiconductor radiation detector (CASRAD).
abstract: New method of differential diagnosis of gastric cancer was reported. After intravenous 32P administration, lesion was counted by small catheter-type readiation detector system under gastrofiberscopic direct vision control. Optimum counting time was examined in man and it was found to be between 20 to 50 hours after intravenous administration of 32P. Under the currently available technology of miniature detector, still beta-emitting carcinopohilic agent was found to be the agent of choice to this end, since gamma-emitting carcinophilic agents can not provide data originated only from the gastric mucosa in question.
