Radioxenon retention in the skeleton on a routine ventilation study

E L Kramer et al. Clin Nucl Med. 1983 Jul.

Abstract

Marked retention of radioxenon by the skeletal structures during a routine ventilation scan is described. Xenon uptake by bones occurs largely in the intraosseous fat. Augmented uptake in this case may be related to the patient's prolonged steroid therapy.
