Abstract

A basic study was carried out in order to improve the detection accuracy of radioluminography (RLG) in drug evaluation studies. Back ground value of photo-stimulated luminescence (PSLBG) of an imaging plate (IP) was proven to decrease exponentially in proportion to the wall thickness of exposure vessels without any improvement of SD of PSLBG. This unexpected result was attributed to the fact that a nonuniformity in shielding occurred. PSLBG was estimated in terms of β-particles from 32P. When IP was exposed in a shield box, a clear periodicity was observed in the PSLBG. A method for directly measuring the PSLBG of each area was developed, which involved exposing IPs simultaneously and assessing PSLBG of the IP in contact with a 14C sample from the PSLBG of the corresponding area of the other IPs.
