Histoautoradiography

Histoautoradiography is one of the methods for visual diagnosis of damage to human tissues and organs. It consists of studying biological material by applying a radioactive substance to it and then viewing it using a special device to enlarge the image. This helps determine the presence of tumors, scars, infections and other diseases in human tissue.

For histoautoradiography, so-called “autoradiographic film” is used. It is a thin film onto which a radioactive substance called radioimaging is applied. The number of atoms of an isotope is a measure of the number of radioactive particles emitted by each atom. After performing histoautoradiographic analysis, the scientist can visually inspect the particles of the radioactive image and thus draw conclusions about the health and condition of human tissues.
