They measured the RTD in a copper ore thickening, filtration, and drying system using 1GBq of Cu-64 as the
radioactive tracer. The RTD study shows the presence of a dead zone and bypasses, which affect the efficiency of the dewatering system, and provides a detailed analysis of the solid state behaviour inside the dewatering subsystems.
Women who are younger than 40, have dense breast tissue, or who have genetic predisposition to cancer should carefully consider the risks of BSGI, PEM, or any
radioactive tracer injections.
(NASDAQ: RDNT) announced it will offer Amyvid, a
radioactive tracer used in positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging, at more locations across the United States than any other imaging provider.
In this study, HPLC and
radioactive tracer assays were performed to determine pharmacokinetic, tissue distribution and excretion of GS-Rd in rodents.
The Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust has set up a team which can image the blood flow to the heart via
radioactive tracer medicine (myocardial perfusion scintigraphy - MPS).
Dr Mark Hughes, clinical director for imaging services, said: "Patients are injected with small amounts of
radioactive tracer, similar in consistency to sugar.
These tests produce 10-40 mSv of radiation, depending on the
radioactive tracer used.
In a PET scan, patients are given a solution of sugar tagged with a
radioactive tracer. When the sugar reaches the brain, it congregates in metabolically active areas that "light up" on scans.
They labeled the dye with a commonly used
radioactive tracer and used a PET scanner to directly see plaque in a living person's brain.
In the past few decades, whole new areas of thought and exploration have been opened up by the sciences--by electronics, by astrophysics, by microbiology, by the study of nucleoproteins and their role in genetics, by
radioactive tracer studies, and by nuclear physics.
Therefore, loculation of the
radioactive tracer within an abdominal collection suggests pseudocyst formation.
