Abstract

2-Deoxyglucose Digital subtraction Image analysis Image segmentation Receptor autoradiography Section alignment Shading correction Tritium quenching
The next generation of techniques for image processing in autoradiography will extend the range for what is already a broad band method for functional mapping. Among the new tools under development are techniques to correct for tritium quenching. With these, high resolution, accurate 2-deoxyglucose mapping will be feasible. Also being developed are automatic segmentation algorithms which will permit rapid surveys of a large number of structures in a large number of brains. Together with recent refinements in other aspects of image processing of autoradiograms, these tools will provide both better quantification accuracy and faster analysis speed.
