Radiation risks and patient issues
The centennial year of Roentgen’s discovery of X-rays (1995), and Becquerel’s discovery of radioactivity (1996), are important historical markers for radiation medicine. We have just lived through the 50th ann...

Studies of aluminum in rat brain
The effects of high aluminum concentrations in rat brain were studied using14C autoradiography to measure the uptake of [14C]2deoxy-d-glucose ([14C]2dG) and microbeam proteon-induced X-ray emission (microPIXE) wi...

97Ru-transferrin uptake in tumor and abscess
The uptake of97Ru-transferrin (Ru-TF) in tumor and abscess bearing animals was compared with67Ga-citrate (Ga),123I-transferrin (I-TF), and several other plasma proteins. Maximal concentration in tumor of Ru-TF in...

2-D Fitting and Interpolation Applied to Image Distortion Analysis
Most imaging devices induce geometric (spatial) distortions of images (1). In other words, every point is mislocated from its true location to an imaged location, depending on the distortion characteristics of...
