“…However, the utility of radioactive tracers has declined as the potential health risks associated with them have made it difficult to justify their use in clinical investigations. Some European countries, for example France and Germany (Keller andRenie 1986, Mion et al 1995), have even banned radioactive isotopes for such applications, and others enforce strict regulations regarding permitted patient groups, disposal, shipment and security. As a consequence radioactive isotopes have largely been replaced with stable isotope tests.…”

“…As a consequence radioactive isotopes have largely been replaced with stable isotope tests. These incur greater costs but do not present any risk to health at the doses normally administered (Keller and Rennie 1986), have few restrictions on their use and do not exclude pregnant women or children from the advantages of isotope tracer tests. The two stable isotopes of carbon are 12 C and 13 C, having natural abundance of 98.89% and 1.11% respectively, whilst oxygen has three stable isotopes, 16 O, 17 O, 18 O at natural abundances of 99.759%, 0.037% and 0.204% (Lide 1996) respectively, therefore producing 12 stable CO 2 isotopomers.…”

“…Οι δοκιμασίες εκπνοής πλεονεκτούν σε σχέση με άλλες κλινικές μεθόδους επειδή δεν είναι τραυματικές και δεν ταλαιπωρούν τον εξεταζόμενο (19)(20)(21)(22). Αυτά σε συνδυασμό με το χαμηλό κόστος και την ευκολία των μεθόδων συλλογής δειγμάτων καθιέρωσαν τις δοκιμασίες εκπνοής έναντι μεθόδων που διαρκούσαν πολύ χρόνο ή δεν ήταν άνετες για τον εξεταζόμενο.…”
