  • Title: The use of radioactive cesium chloride for imaging of malignant and benign pulmonary lesions.
    Author: Nishiyama H, Lewis JT, Sodd VJ, Saenger EL.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1976 Oct; 143(4):575-80. PubMed ID: 183297.
    Abstract:
    129CsCl was investigated as an agent for imaging tumors of the lung, and based on the results of 56 patients studied, it has proved to be highly sensitive in detecting primary malignant tumors of the lung. The differentiation between pulmonary malignant lesions and tuberculosis appears to be feasible. However, false-positive images in patients with benign conditions are inevitable.
