Xenon (133Xe)
Xenon (133Xe) Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Xenon (133Xe) is an inhaled radionuclide used for lung imaging, imaging blood flow in the brain, and to assess pulmonary function.
Xenon Xe 133 is a readily diffusible gas which is neither utilized nor produced by the body. It passes through cell membranes and freely exchanges between blood and tissue. It tends to concentrate more in body fat than in blood, plasma, water or protein solutions.

Uses
Xenon (133Xe) is an inhaled radionuclide used to measure lung function and organ blood flow.
Inhalation of Xenon Xe 133 Gas has proved valuable for the evaluation of pulmonary function and for imaging the lungs. It may also be applied to assessment of cerebral flow.
How Xenon (133Xe) works
Xenon (133Xe) is used for the diagnostic evaluation of pulmonary function and imaging, as well as assessment of cerebral blood flow. In the concentrations used for diagnostic purposes it is physiologically inactive.
Food Interaction
No interactions found.Elimination Route
Inhaled Xenon Xe 133 Gas will enter the alveolar wall and enter the pulmonary venous circulation via the capillaries.
Half Life
Half Life 5.245 days
Elimination Route
Most of the Xenon Xe 133 that enters the circulation from a single breath is returned to the lungs and exhaled after a single pass through the peripheral circulation.
