  • Title: A comparison of 111In with 52Fe and 99mTc-sulfur colloid for bone marrow scanning.
    Author: Merrick MV, Gordon-Smith EC, Lavender JP, Szur L.
    Journal: J Nucl Med; 1975 Jan; 16(1):66-8. PubMed ID: 1089139.
    Abstract:
    Under most circumstances 52Fe, 111In, and colloid show a similar distribution of marrow. The lesser uptake of 111In by liver and spleen may occasionally be of value in permitting visualization of that portion of the spinal marrow obscured by these organs in the colloid scan. However, in red cell aplasia, when there is dissociation between phagocytic and erythropoietic functions, scanning with 111In gives no information about erythropoietic tissue distribution. Therefore, indium cannot be used as an analog for iron in the study of the hematopoietic system.
