Summary

Whole-body counting makes an important contribution of radioisotope techniques to ȁEin vivo“ absorption studies, in comparison with other methods. In a large number of subjects, the method was tested for its usefulness in the diagnosis of calcium malabsorption. The effects of drugs, of the calcium load in the gut and of the whole-body content of calcium on the absorption process were studied in a control group.

Die Verwendung von Ganzkörperzählern liefert einen wichtigen Beitrag der Nuklearmedizin zu in-vivo Untersuchungen der Absorption, besonders im Vergleich zu anderen Methoden. An einer großen Zahl von Patienten wurde die Verwendbarkeit der Methode zur Diagnose der Malabsorption des Kalziums untersucht. Der Einfluß von Medikamenten, der Gesamtgehalt von Kalzium im Organismus und des Dünndarminhalts an Kalzium auf den Resorptionsprozeß wurde untersucht.

* Dedicated to the 50th birthday anniversary of Prof. MU Dr. Z. Dienstbier, Dr. Sc, Prague
