Abstract :
The metabolic significance of the distribution of labeled oxygen was studied in the dog by inhalation of gas mixtures labeled with oxygen-14 (T1/2 = 71 seconds) maintained at a constant level of activity. Under steady-state conditions, whole body images were developed by detection of the positron annihilation emissions with a dual head rectilinear scanner in the coincidence mode.
