We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
68 BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE The film shows the principal components and, in animation, illus- trates and explains the operation of the system. Actual fabrication of components and subsystems is also shown, as well as the extensive testing programs currently underway. Thus, SNAP-8 is not a drawing on a drafting table, but a technological reality. Animation sequences are used to depict potential missions of the SNAP-8 system, including power for: TV satellites to broadcast all over the earth, orbiting space stations to support earth observation and space research, maintenance of permanent lunar bases, and manned explorations beyond the moon.

Ra- dioactive tracers give off signals that can be converted into an image. Administered to patients, these radioactive materials, in effect, make pictures revealing valuable information about the size, shape, position and functioning of lungs, thyroid glands, bones, liver, kidneys, heart, spleen, and brain. The signals emitted from the organ-selective atomic tracers are registered by a scintillation detector which moves over the test area on the patient. This motion picture explains the methods of organ scanning, and gives examples: thyroid and lung scanning with ra- dioactive iodine. Scans are also shown of the chest, brain, liver, and kidneys. Visualization of the malfunctioning of human organs is pro- duced in black and white or in color on paper and/or on photographic film. The radiation detection and printout devices are described.
