Chromium, in the form of sodium chromate, attaches strongly to the hemoglobin of red blood cells. This makes radioactive chromium-151 an excellent isotope for determining the flow of blood through the heart. This isotope is also useful for determining the lifetime of red blood cells, which can be of great importance in the diagnoses of anemias.
