Receptor autoradiography with tritium-sensitive film: potential for computerized densitometry
Neuroscience Letters
|September 1, 1981
Abstract:
Benzodiazepine receptors mounted tissue sections of brain were localized by autoradiography using a tritium-sensitive sheet film (3H-Ultrofilm, LKB). The use of the film had many advantages compared to a previous technique utilizing emulsion-coated coverslips. A major advantage is the adaptability of the film to microdensitometric techniques for measurement of receptors. The densitometry can be carried out by computerized, color-coded image analysis.

01:29Positron Emission Tomography
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
