The tissue distribution of two 14C drugs
were quantitatively compared using the techniques of whole body
autoradioluminography (WBAL) and radiometry. Quantitative analysis of
tissue radioactivity in whole body cryosections was accomplished from
storage phosphor images using the MicroComputer Imaging Device. After
obtaining whole body sections from four frozen rats and three frozen
ferrets, each WBAL-sectioned specimen was partially thawed before
obtaining tissue samples for radiometric analysis. For all tissues
examined, concentrations of radioactivity determined by WBAL were
comparable with those determined by dissection and liquid scintillation
analysis (DLSA), except for renal tissue obtained from different
kidneys of the same ferret and for rat ocular tissues. A 2-fold
difference was observed between WBAL and DLSA evaluations of
radioactivity in the contralateral kidneys of one ferret. DLSA
evaluation only provided an assessment of total radioactivity in the
eye, whereas WBAL evaluation determined the selective distribution of
radioactivity to ocular tissues. Resolution in DLSA evaluation of
ocular tissues was restricted by limitations of the dissection
procedure. These results indicated that the quantitation of tissue
radioactivity by WBAL was as precise as DLSA evaluation, and WBAL also
provided results to the quantitative distribution of radioactivity to
localized sites in organs not feasible by DLSA.
