Indium is used in different sorts of scans. Most commonly a white blood cell test which is no use to us. What you need to look for is the indium platelet survival study.

Hi CamdenGirl:

I will google it and see what I can find. thanks!!! If you know the location of the study, let me know. The US process for drug and treatment approval is slow, expensive and, many times, behind!

Other Americans say it isn't available in the US. The Survival Study is available in London and a few other cities in England.
