    FIGURE 1.

    Schematized setup of sample configuration during imaging. Cryosections of tissues (A) were placed on scintillating layer (B) that was coated on clear polyester sheet (C). α-particles (black solid arrows) emitted in tissue hit scintillator and generate scintillation photons (blue dotted arrows), which traversed cryosection before being imaged.

    FIGURE 2.

    Activity distribution of tumor-specific 211At-MX35-F(ab′)2 in OVCAR-3 xenografts. (A–C) Pixel intensity values (normalized to line profile mean pixel intensity) of line profile plotted as function of pixel number along line. (D–F) α-Camera images taken 10 min, 7 h, and 21 h after bioconjugate injection. Red lines mark line profile positions used in A–C. (G–I) Activity distribution histograms for whole tumor. Intensity value for each pixel was divided by mean pixel intensity of whole tumor. Normalized data were divided into 10 bins between 0 and 2.5, and each level was plotted in representative color described by color-code bar. White scale bar corresponds 1,000 μm in D–F. hpi = hours after injection; mpi = minutes after injection.

    FIGURE 3.

    Overlay of α-camera image with H&E section. OVCAR-3 xenograft was imaged at 7 h after intravenous injection of tumor-specific 211At-MX35-F(ab′)2. (A) Area of H&E-stained section consecutive to α-camera images is shown in Figure 4. (B) Same area seen in α-camera image. White and black arrows indicate same region of stroma in tumor. Black bar indicates 200 μm.

    Cryosections of mice kidneys imaged with α-camera at 30 min (A) and 2 h (B) after intravenous injection of 211At-IgG trastuzumab. White arrows indicate vascular branches (A) and medullary rays and glomeruli (B).
