Figure 2.
Perspective view (i.e. rendering view) of one of the C57BL/6 mice in this study, showing the radioisotopic image superimposed on the CT scan. This image was obtained approximately 6 hours after administration of the radioisotope and provides a view looking down at the animal. The two lungs and stomach appear in color. Radioactivity in the lungs resulted from oropharyngeal aspiration of 99mtechnetium-sulfur colloid. Radioactivity in the stomach resulted from removal of the radioisotope by MCC. The radioactivity was then swallowed, appearing in the stomach.
