ОписаниеWork on the use of radioactive chromium in the diagnosis of a type of anaemia, being conducted at the radioisotope laboratory of the Republic Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, under a research contract awarded by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The lifespan of the red blood corpuscles affected by haemolytic anaemia is measured with a scintillation counter. The red cells are labelled with the radioisotopes, chromium 51, and the fate of these tagged cells is determined by external counting of the radioactivity of various organs. This permits a diagnosis of the origin of the disease not only by measuring the shortening of the lifespan of these cells but also by ascertaining the role which liver and spleen play in the increased rate of red cell destruction, which is characteristic for this disease.
