Abstract
Nearly 60 years have passed since radioactive materials were first used as tracers in man: in 1927, Blumgart and Weiss used radon gas to study cardiovascular hemodynamics of patients with heart diseases [1]. Some thirty years ago Vetter et al. first estimated the liver blood flow with gold-198, an artificial radionuclide [2], while Stirrett et al. used the same radionuclide for imaging of the regional distribution of intrahepatic RES in man [3]. Today newer scintigraphic devices as well as other radiopharmaceuticals are used, but there are no new ideas in general.
