21. Radionuclide imaging can be used as a non-invasive test to detect myocardial ischemia.22. Although some of Brookhaven's contamination is radioactive, carbon tetrachloride is not a radionuclide . 23. A DMSA scan is a radionuclide scan that uses dimercaptosuccinic acid in assessing the kidney morphology. 24. The injected substance, filtered sulfur colloid, is tagged with the radionuclide technetium-99m. 25. In addition, size limitation of the abnormal gland can limit the detection by radionuclide scanning. 26. Thus, specific activity is defined as the activity per quantity of atoms of a particular radionuclide . 27. Amounts per injection of radionuclide are listed in The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( NRC ) guidelines. 28. This study, funded by the NIH, seeks to demonstrate that ShuntCheck results match radionuclide results. 29. Amounts per injection of radionuclide are listed in the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission ( NRC ) guidelines. 30. Whereas 1 Hz is 1 cycle per second, 1 Bq is 1 aperiodic radionuclide event per second.
