The Fourth General Assembly of the International Committee for Standardization in Hematology, which met during the 11th International Congress of Haematology, held in Sydney, Australia, 1966, established an expert panel on the Diagnostic Applications of Radioisotopes in Haematology. The panel comprised E. H. Belcher (I.A.E.A.), N. I. Berlin (U.S.A.), J. G. Eernisse (Netherlands), L. Garby (Sweden), H. I. Glass (U.K., Secretary), H. Heimpel (Federal Republic of Germany), M. Lee (Republic of Korea), S. M. Lewis (U.K.), P. McIntyre (U.S.A.), P. L. Mollison (U.K.), Y. Najean (France) and L. Szur (U.K., Chairman). The panel held its inaugural meeting in London in 1967 and decided to deal first with estimation of red‐cell survival and associated investigations. Subsequently, the Committee met on three occasions, in New York, in Vienna (under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency) and in Bethesda (under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health). The following document deals with red‐cell survival studies. It is hoped that in the near future similar documents will be issued dealing with other applications of radioisotopes in haematology.
