amputation Xe xenon			The Lawrence Livermore team added two nonradioactive trace gases, helium-3 and sulfur hexafluoride, to substitute for the rare xenon-133 and argon-37 produced by a nuclear bomb. Bomb testers beware: trace gases linger by Skindrud, Erik / Science News The agreement provides that DRAXIMAGE technetium-99m kits as well as Indium-111 and Xenon-133 radioisotopes will be distributed exclusively through Bristol-Myers Squibb Medical Imaging in Canada while the balance of the more than 30 DRAXIMAGE products for nuclear medicine will be marketed on a non-exclusive basis.
