Infarcted myocardium from a rat, which was injected with 18FDG,
99mTc-Sestamibi and 111In-DTPPA prior to sacrifice.
Distributions from each of the 3 isotopes were discriminated from one single acquisition
and are shown with a different color each

Rat coronal brain section after injection of 700 µCi of 18FDG. After FDG injection and visual stimulation,
the rat was sacrificed and sections were imaged with different techniques: film, phosphor screens, Biospace Lab Beta Imager and Micro Imager.

The plant was labelled by short-duration pulse-chase feeding,
with radiolabelled metabolites, of the petiole of detached Arabidopsis
leaves. The leaves are then rapidly frozen and then freeze-dried, to
preserve the location of the label. Autoradiography reveals diverse
patterns of labelling within these leaves, depending on the location and
extent of cellular uptake of the compound fed. Simultaneous imaging of
two isotopes (3H and 14C) using the Micro Imager and Energy Dual-Labelling Software
allows comparison of the uptake pattern of two different metabolites
within a single sample. If a particular metabolite is fed as a control
in all samples, the variation in labelling pattern can be used to assess
the impact of inconsistent uptake of the feed solution due to wounding
or other factors.
The leaf was labelled with 3H GABA and 14C sucrose.
Separation of each isotope contribution to the image was performed with Biospace Lab Dual Energy Software.
The image opposite shows the biodistribution of 3H GABA, whereas the next image reveals that of the 14C sucrose in the same leaf.
