NCIt related terms : calcium-46 (46Ca) chloride aqueous solution;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable aqueous solution containing the chloride salt of the radioisotope
calcium-46 (46Ca) with phosphate-binding and radioisotopic activities. Upon administration
of calcium-46 chloride aqueous solution, calcium-46 is preferentially taken up by
osteoblasts, which generate mineralized osteoid containing calcium. Calcium-46 accumulation
and turnover in bone can be measured with bone scintigraphy and urinary isotope excretion
testing.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance used to study the turnover of bone tissue in certain diseases,
such as osteoporosis or cancer that has spread to the bone. Calcium-46 (46Ca) is a
form of calcium. It is passed from the body in the urine.;
