In the earliest days of nuclear medicine, counting devices similar to the thyroid probe described in the previous section were used to evaluate the amount of activity in a particular tissue. For example, probes could be used to evaluate the iodine uptake of thethyroid gland. However, it was ...
Seracam’s performance across the measured characteristics is appropriate for small field of view applications in nuclear medicine. At an imaging distance of 50 mm, corresponding to a field of view of 77.6 mm × 77.6 mm, spatial resolution ranged from 4.6 mm to 26 mm and sensitivity from 3.6...
Total RNA from cells was extracted using TRIzol®Reagent (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA), and cDNA was synthesized from 1 µg of total RNA using ImProm-II™ reverse transcriptase (Promega) according to the manufacturers’ protocols. Approximately 10 ng of cDNA was subjected to PCR amplifica...
