Instrumentation and
Applications
The principle of flame photometer
is based on the measurement of the emitted light intensity when a metal is introduced into the flame.
The wavelength of the colour gives information about the element and
the colour of the flame gives information about the amount of the element present in the sample.
Flame photometry is one of the branches of atomic absorption spectroscopy.
It is also known as flame emission spectroscopy.
Currently, it has become a necessary tool in the field of analytical chemistry. Used to
Determine the concentration of certain metal ions like
potassium,lithium, calcium, cesium etc. In flame photometer spectra the metal ions are used in the form of atoms.
(IUPAC) Committee on Spectroscopic Nomenclature has named this technique as flame atomic emission spectrometry (FAES). Principle of Flame photometer
The compounds of the alkali and alkaline earth metals (Group II) dissociate into atoms when introduced into the flame.
Some of these atoms further get excited to even higher levels. But these atoms are not stable at higher levels.
Hence, these atoms emit radiations when returning back to the ground state.
These radiations generally lie in the visible region of the spectrum.
Each of the alkali and alkaline earth metals has a specific wavelength. Instrumentation-Source of flame, Nebuliser, Monochromator(Prism monochromator, Grating monochromators)DETECTOR (
The radiation emitted by the elements is mostly in the visible region and measured by photo detector. Hence conventional detectors like photo voltaic cell or photo tubes or photomultiplier tube is used), READ OUT DEVICE

Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.

Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Decay
•Most configurations of protons and neutrons are not stable, and decay
Forms of decay (transmutation)
•Electron capture (EC)
•An atomic electron is captured by the nucleus. A proton is
consumed, a neutron is generated, and a neutrino (very light, almost
undetectable particle) is emitted
• emissionα
•The nucleus spontaneously emits an particle (same thing as aα
helium nucleus, 2 protons and 2 neutrons)
• - emissionβ
•A neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton, an electron and
an antineutrino
3. 3
PET Isotope Targets
• + (positron) emissionβ
•A proton in the nucleus is converted into a neutron, a positron
(antimatter electron) and a neutrino
•When F-18 (9 protons, 9 neutrons) decays, it goes to O-18 (8
protons, 10 neutrons)

There are other nuclear reactions, such as internal conversion or

are referred to as isomeric reactions

PET Isotope Targets
Decay (cont.)
•The units of decay rate are Curies or Becquerels
•One Curie is 3.7 x 1010
decays per second
•The Becquerel is one decay per second
•One Curie is 37 Giga-Becquerels
•This is the typical way that radioactivity is quantified
•Note that this is the rate of decays, which is different from the total
number of activated nuclei
5. 5
PET Isotope Targets
Decay (cont.)
•There is a fixed probability of decay for each nucleus
•This results in a fixed fraction of the population decaying in a given
time period (exponential decay)
•The time it takes for the decay rate to drop to half its value is called the
half-life
•The decay rate at a given period of time can be calculated by

Activation
•Stable nuclei can be bombarded with nucleons (neutrons or protons) or
other nuclei to form activated nuclei
•This process is referred to as a nuclear reaction
•The nomenclature for nuclear reactions is

Production
•As a nuclear reaction takes place, the population of activated nuclei
grows, as does the decay rate
•At some point the decay rate and activation rate are equal
•The activity at this point is saturated. The saturation activity is an
indication of the production rate. Knowing the saturation activity one
can calculate the expected activity at any time using the following
equation:

Other Bombardment Processes – Ionization
•As it passes through matter, the energetic particle can be treated as a
bare nucleus with positive charge close to its atomic number.
•Protons (Hydrogen) have a charge of 1+
•Energetic F-18 would have a net charge of 9+
•As they pass atoms they pick up and shed atomic electrons many
times. This process is called ionization.
•The removal of the electron requires energy which is provided by the
bombarding particle.
•The bombarding loses energy, and the medium it passes through is
heated.
•Ionizations are much more frequent than nuclear reactions.
