Arch Otolaryngol. 1973;97(4):312-315.

Abstract
The use of four radioisotopes, selenium 75 (⁷⁵Se), gallium 67 (⁶⁷Ga), indium 111 (¹¹¹In), and sodium phosphate 32 (³²P), suitable for tumor scanning is discussed with emphasis on the diagnosis of malignant tumors of the head and neck. Personal experience with the latter two radioisotopes is described. Scanning with transferrin tagged with¹¹¹In was positive in seven of ten (70%) head and neck malignant tumors. The³²P uptakes were positive in ten of ten intraoral malignant tumors (100%), seven of seven malignant skin lesions (100%), and three of seven malignant neck masses (43%).
