NCIt related terms : calcium-41 (41Ca) chloride aqueous solution;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable aqueous solution containing the chloride salt of the radioisotope
calcium-41 (41Ca) with phosphate-binding and radioisotopic activities. Upon administration
of calcium-41 chloride aqueous solution, calcium-41 is preferentially taken up by
osteoblasts, which generate mineralized osteoid containing calcium. Calcium-41 accumulation
and turnover in bone can be measured with bone scintigraphy and urinary isotope excretion.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance used to diagnose and monitor cancer that has spread to the
bones. It is also used to study the turnover of bone tissue and to diagnose other
conditions that affect the bones, such as osteoporosis. Calcium-41 (41Ca) is a form
of calcium that gives off radiation. It is passed from the body in the urine.;
