14CO2 in breath

J L Rabinowitz et al. Eur J Nucl Med. 1981.

Abstract

The diagnosis of metabolic disorders can be made by detecting 14CO2 in the breath. This is possible because 14CO2 can label any organic compound without any deteriorations in the nature of the compound. This type of analysis is dependable, noninvasive and simple to perform with a scintillation counter.
