Abstract
Novel selenium derivatives of steroids have the formula I, ##STR1## where X is hydrogen or acyl, Y is hydrocarbon and n is 0 or 1, preferably 0. Such compounds, labelled with selenium-75 are of use for investigating body function, particularly for imaging the adrenal glands, and are claimed superior for the purpose to the 6.beta.- and 19- iodine derivatives of cholesterol.
