WHOLE-BODY COUNTING

Whole-Body Counting Systems

Whole body counting in erythrocyte survival studies.

In Cancer Research, 26: 198-201, Feb. 1966, Brodsky et at. describe a method for determining the red cell survival in mice, based on whole-body counting after injection of 51Cr-labeled red cells. Inspired by this article, we decided to use the method which seemed to have some obvious advantages over the sampling method. Three hundred /L1. of red cells, labeled with 1 uc. 51Cr ( specific activit...

Whole Body Counting in the Iaea Laboratory

Among the current activities of the IAEA laboratory is a project for the measurement and analysis of small amounts of radioactivity in living persons. This is done with what is known as a "whole body counter" installed in the basement of the Agency's headquarters building in Vienna. This facility is also available for rendering services to Member States at their request as part of the bio-assay...

Body movements affect Counting

Aim of the present study is to investigate whether and to what extent movements performed with the whole body can influence calculation processes. Participants were asked to perform additions or subtractions while executing an ascending or descending movement in a passive (i.e., by taking the elevator) or active (i.e., by taking the stairs) mode. Results revealed a congruency effect between the...
