Abstract:
The use of Microchannel Plate Analysers (Instant Imager, Canberra Packard), the so called Electronic Autoradiography, in Radiopharmacy is described. The system can be used for quality control of radiopharmaceuticals as well as for scientific research purposes. Quantitative analysis of 2-dimensional radioactive samples of all radionuclides used in Nuclear Medicine (especially 99mTc) can be performed in a very short time with little effort. Advantages and limitations for radiopharmaceutical work are described.
