Wells in which no radiotracer is found are separated by fault lines under the seabed. |
This new technology will enable hospitals to perform the final step in marking with a radiotracer, which will be produced if necessary and depending on the number of exams needed. |
After Dr. Harper's team injected the isotope, also known as a radiotracer or radionuclide, into a patient, it could be tracked through the bloodstream and eventually to the heart, liver and other organs. |
The radiotracer is then injected in the blood stream and the radioactivity is detected in different brain areas as the compound accumulates. |
We are confident that the Sheba study will show how our technology can simultaneously improve image quality and scan time while using a lower patient radiotracer dose. |
For example, a normal increase in the uptake of radiotracer might be mistaken for a neoplastic process. |
