Radiolabeled Microsphere Technique in Conscious Subjects during Acceleration Exposures on the USAFSAM Centrifuge.
Abstract
The methods used to apply the radiolabeled microsphere technique for the study of the effects of +Gz acceleration on regional blood flows are presented. A remote-control system designed to infuse suspensions of microspheres into the left atrium of conscious animals is outlined as is a device which allows the remote, sequential withdrawal of six blood samples. Results are presented which demonstrate that the cautious application of the radioblabeled microsphere technique using the outlined systems can produce good information about the effects of +Gz acceleration on regional blood flows.
