In particular xenon-127 and xenon-133—are commonly used in medicine. These isotopes are used to study the flow of blood through the brain and the flow of air through the lungs.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[1SG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 6th 2007 1:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Radioactive gases in plasma displays?
