Popis: A study was made of the behaviour of human serum albumin microspheres--SAM-- (USSR) during intraarterial selective infusion of them in the hepatic artery of rabbits. 125I was used as a radioactive tracing agent. Accumulation of the agent in organs and its excretion were investigated over time by radiometry in vivo and in vitro. Distribution of 125I-SAM in the liver at administration of different amounts of the radioactive drug was also investigated. A mathematical formula of calculation of the optimum amount of administered microspheres was proposed. A conclusion was made of a possibility of the use of the SAM as a carrier of short-lived radionuclides for endovascular radiotherapy of malignant hepatic tumors.
