[The microstructural analysis of scintigrams]
Abstract:
A method of assessment of a zone of scintigraphic image based on a textural analysis was proposed. The method was tested by means of an analysis of synthesized images and assessment of 285 scintigrams of various hepatic lesions. The use of the method made it possible to improve the accuracy of differential diagnosis at the expense of defining the structures typical of diffuse and multiple small focal lesions which were undetectable by visualization.

Scanning Electron Microscopy
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.
