Abstract:
The distribution of radioactive yttrium was studied in guinea-pigs. The injection of 1,5 mci of radioactive yttrium leads to a mean surface dose of 20 Gy which can be obtained within 5 days. An extrapolation of these findings to the peritoneal surface of human beings should lead to a corresponding dose of 64 mci.
