A Technique for the Injection of Radioactive Tracer Microspheres during Acceleration Stress.
Abstract
A microshpere injection system is presented which allows the remote sequential injection of as many as five seperately labeled radioactive tracer microspheres while under acceleration stress. Cinemicroscopic observation of the injected microsphere suspension showed little or no microsphere aggregation. Statistical analysis of the microsphere injections on the basis of counts per minute showed 90 + 5.7% of the injection was delivered during three gravities of acceleration. No significant difference in percent injectate delivered was found among the five cartridges. Subjection of the microsphere injection system to 12 G acceleration did not impair proper sequencing or delivery of test solutions. (Author)
