  • Title: Characterization of an intravenously injected bolus.
    Author: Samuel AM, Raikar UR, Atmaram SH, Ganatra RD.
    Journal: Nuklearmedizin; 1976 Aug; 15(4):173-5. PubMed ID: 980795.
    Abstract:
    A study of some parameters affecting the time activity histogram of an intravenous bolus injection of radioactivity was performed. A scoring system for bolus compactness was attempted. A score of 2 and above was considered to be a satisfactory bolus. Volumes less than 1 ml tended to result in a satisfactory bolus. The nature of the radiopharmaceutical injected, different injecters and age of the patient did not affect the score. Thyrotoxic patients gave the best bolus score.
