SUMMARY In many subjects, overlap of the image of the pancreas by the liver image makes clear delineation of the pancreas uncertain. A dual isotope technique was evolved with a ratio substract system. Experiments in vitro with a phantom liver and pancreas successfully erased the liver image from the final printout. In vivo, however, the results were in many cases unsatisfactory. A detailed statistical analysis of the data has provided an explanation for these differences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
