Abstract
The radioactive isotopes of oxygen are in general not suited for measurements on biological and medicine objects, because of their very short half-lives. The use of stable oxygen isotopes as tracers has been limited so far to analyzing concrete, individual samples, not knowing their fractionations. The distribution of the oxygen isotopes 16O and 18O between body fluids and carbon dioxide is not the same in both phases (1).
