ABSTRACT:
A method for locating tubes, or internal lines, disposed within a passage of a body of a patient by means of radionuclides. A radioactive element is inserted into a line, such as a catheter, disposed in a body passage and is detected by a radiation measuring instrument, such as a Geiger counter, in order to locate the line. By monitoring the radioactive element as it is being inserted into the line, the entire course of the line within the patient's body can be accurately determined.
