Determination of gold sol concentrations from spectrophotometric data

Abstract

In principle, this method might be applied in any type of scintiscanning provided the data are available in digital form. Once a table of the values of A of a certain collimator for various radionuclides is constructed, the corrections can be made for an observed scintigram in accordance with the radionuclide use. High-resolution scintigrams with high-energy y-emitters (Fe59, Co60, and Ca47 etc.) that have been difficult to obtain by conventional methods might be obtainable with this correction. Moreover, this method could be used in analysing scintigrams with smaller amounts of tracers, because the data are available in digital form.
