Certain applications of radioisotopes to obstetric and gynaecological diagnosis are illustrated. Radioisotopes have been widely employed since the improvement in instrumental methods and the availability of short-life radioisotopes has removed the basic limitation which once prevented their use during the entire fecund period of the woman owing to the risk of radiation damage to the reproductive system. Particular attention is paid to the advances made in placental localization, in the study of thyroid and renal function in pregnancy, in the study of the diffusion of female genital tumours and relapses, and in early diagnosis of tumours of the uterus and ovaries. Dosimetric problems arising when using diagnostic techniques with radioisotopes in obstetrics and gynaecology are analysed.
本文展示了放射性同位素在妇产科诊断中的某些应用。自从仪器方法得到改进以及短寿命放射性同位素问世以来，放射性同位素已被广泛应用，这消除了曾经因辐射对生殖系统造成损害的风险而阻止在女性整个生育期使用它们的基本限制。文中特别关注了在胎盘定位、孕期甲状腺和肾功能研究、女性生殖器肿瘤及复发扩散研究以及子宫和卵巢肿瘤早期诊断方面取得的进展。分析了在妇产科使用放射性同位素诊断技术时出现的剂量测定问题。
