  2. Thallium poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallium_poisoning

    The thallium was slipped into bottles of Coca-Cola at the Carr and Trepal homes. [27] Thallium was the poison of choice for Saddam Hussein to use on dissidents, which even allowed for them to emigrate before dying. [28] In 1995, Zhu Ling was the victim of an unsolved attempted thallium poisoning in Beijing, China.

    Nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion scan with thallium-201 for the rest images (bottom rows) and Tc-Sestamibi for the stress images (top rows). The nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion scan plays a pivotal role in the non-invasive evaluation of coronary artery disease. The study not only identifies patients with coronary artery disease; it ...

  4. Isotopes of thallium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_thallium

    Thallium (81 Tl) has 41 isotopes with atomic masses that range from 176 to 216. 203 Tl and 205 Tl are the only stable isotopes and 204 Tl is the most stable radioisotope with a half-life of 3.78 years. 207 Tl, with a half-life of 4.77 minutes, has the longest half-life of naturally occurring Tl radioisotopes.

  5. Thallium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallium

    The radioisotope thallium-201 (as the soluble chloride TlCl) is used in small amounts as an agent in a nuclear medicine scan, during one type of nuclear cardiac stress test. Soluble thallium salts (many of which are nearly tasteless) are highly toxic and they were historically used in rat poisons and insecticides .

  6. Single-photon emission computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-photon_emission...

    Scanning is time-consuming, and it is essential that there is no patient movement during the scan time. Movement can cause significant degradation of the reconstructed images, although movement compensation reconstruction techniques can help with this. A highly uneven distribution of radiopharmaceutical also has the potential to cause artifacts.

  7. Thallium poisoning case of Zhu Ling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallium_poisoning_case_of...

    The overall thallium distribution profiles in the analyzed hairs suggested both chronic and acute thallium exposures that correlated well with the sequential presentation of a plethora of symptoms originally experienced by Zhu Ling. Aligning the time-resolved thallium peaks in the hair with her symptoms also provided clues on possible routes of ...

    The U.S. has spent millions on high-tech scanners to spot fentanyl crossing the border, but many sit in warehouses unused because Congress hasn’t appropriated funds to install them.

  9. Thallium halides - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallium_halides

    Thallium(I) iodide has the CsCl crystal structure. The monohalides, also known as thallous halides, all contain thallium with oxidation state +1. Parallels can be drawn between the thallium(I) halides and their corresponding silver salts; for example, thallium(I) chloride and bromide are light-sensitive, and thallium(I) fluoride is more soluble in water than the chloride and bromide.
