In 16 patients we have carried out simultaneous plasma-volume measurements with human serum albumins tagged with Tc-99m (Tc-99m HSA) and I-131 (I-131 HSA). The correlation coefficient was 0.987. Tc-99m HSA, prepared from kits that predictably yield high labeling efficiency (and thereby negligible amounts of TCO4-), is clearly a superior agent for repeat plasma volume determinations, because of its shorter half-life and the reduced radiation dose to the subject.

D011829 Radiation Dosage The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
