چکیده
This study reports the practical problems involved in the use of a miniature Geiger counter to detect the site of bleeding into the intestine. The observations so far have been made in dogs but its possible application in man is proposed.

The silver activation counters are commonly used for pulsed-neutron yield measurements especially in plasma focus devices. The counter normally consists of a Geiger-Muller tube along with silver foils and polyethylene (as a moderator), which is calibrated against an Am-Be radioisotope neutron source. The neutrons, after being slowed-down in the polyethylene, activate the silver foils. By measur...
متن کاملSmall-Bowel Bleeding With Laparoscopic Resection Guided by Microcoil Placement
Introduction: Small-bowel massive bleeding presents a complex diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Angiography can be used for localization and embolization of the overt gastrointestinal bleeding site. Because of the complex anastomotic network of blood vessels supplying the small intestine, precise identification is complicated and surgical resection of the bleeding site is difficult. We descri...
متن کاملAn improved Geiger-counter arrangement for determination of radium content.
Geiger-counter apparatus in which several counters may be placed in any position relative to each other is described. A circular arrangement of counters to give a counting rate approximately independent of the position of a so urce near the center of the circle is discussed. The relation of the I osition of the source to the counting rate of a single Geiger counter is discus ed. A method of cal...
متن کاملGammaSense: Infrastructureless Positioning Using Background Radioactivity
We introduce the harvesting of natural background radioactivity for positioning. Using a standard Geiger-Müller counter as sensor, we fingerprint the natural levels of gamma radiation with the aim of then roughly pinpointing the position of a client in terms of interfloor, intrafloor, and indoor-versus-outdoor locations. We find that the performance of a machine-learning algorithm in detecting ...
متن کاملTc-99m RBC imaging for demonstrating intermittent intestinal bleeding.
A case of intestinal bleeding caused by multiple ulcerations near the terminal ileum is presented. Abdominal scanning with Tc-99m tagged red blood cells (Tc-99m RBC) demonstrated the intermittent bleeding in short intervals. Selective angiography did not demonstrate the bleeding site. Exploratory laparotomy showed 3 ulcers on the ileum at a site near the terminal ileum, with bleeding from one s...
