Nuclear Medicine Technology and Other Health Applications Extension and Improvement of Radiographic and Isotopic Project L7. Tittle: Diagnostic Techniques Expected Results in FY 1974; RX-01-03-(c) (Cont'd.) is envisioned, particularly interfacing with the MED II computer for easier F-18 compounds is planned, quantification. Interfacing of the positron camera for use with C-11 and This will also require a major effort in computer programming, A high purity germanium detector is in use for bone mineral analysis and for transmission scanning, both of which were developed by our Instrumentation Division, A semiconductor camera device would be extremely useful in conjunction with transmission scanning and for use with Tc-99m and I-123 compounds, 18, Expected Results (Atkins) in FY 1975: * Studies described above will continue, with specific emphasis determined by instrumentation and radiopharmaceuticals developed during the preceding year, 19, Description and Explanation of Major Materials, Equipment, and Subcontract Items: FY 1975 Capital Equipment: The major capital requirement is an image intensifier and video disc recorder in order to do correlative animal studies for investigations of radiopharmaceuticals in coronary heart disease. This would permit coronary angiography to determine patency of arteries prior to and after inducing infarctions in large animals as a control for radionuclide imaging procedures. The apparatus would be useful also for routine veterinary x ray, and for angiography of renal transplants ($90,000). 20.
