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).
